So yeah, this is a thing: http://www.ghacks.net/2016/10/29/atombo ... s-exploit/

Ensilo security researchers have discovered a new zero-day exploit in Windows that attackers can make use of to inject and execute malicious code.

The researches call the exploit AtomBombing because of its use of a Windows function called Atom Tables.

What's particularly interesting about the exploit is that it does not rely on security vulnerabilities in Windows components but native Windows functions.

This means, according to the researchers, that Microsoft won't be able to patch the issue.
