      'Name'           => 'Xorg X11 Server SUID privilege escalation',
      'Description'    => %q{
        This module attempts to gain root privileges with SUID Xorg X11 server
        versions 1.19.0 < 1.20.3.

        A permission check flaw exists for -modulepath and -logfile options when
        starting Xorg.  This allows unprivileged users that can start the server
        the ability to elevate privileges and run arbitrary code under root
        privileges.

        This module has been tested with OpenBSD 6.3, 6.4, and CentOS 7 (1708).
        CentOS default install will require console auth for the users session.
        Cron launches the payload so if Selinux is enforcing exploitation
        may still be possible, but the module will bail.
        Xorg must have SUID permissions and may not start if running.

        On exploitation a crontab.old backup file will be created by Xorg.
        This module will remove the .old file and restore crontab after
        successful exploitation. Failed exploitation may result in a corrupted
        crontab. On successful exploitation artifacts will be created consistant
        with starting Xorg and running a cron.
