'Description' => %q{
Metasploit < 4.4 contains a vulnerable 'pcap_log' plugin which, when used with the default settings,
creates pcap files in /tmp with predictable file names. This exploits this by hard-linking these
filenames to /etc/passwd, then sending a packet with a priviliged user entry contained within.
This, and all the other packets, are appended to /etc/passwd.
Successful exploitation results in the creation of a new superuser account.
This module requires manual clean-up - remove /tmp/msf3-session*pcap files and truncate /etc/passwd.
