      This module exploits a vulnerability in Viscosity 1.4.1 on Mac OS X. The
     vulnerability exists in the setuid ViscosityHelper, where an insufficient
     validation of path names allows execution of arbitrary python code as root.
     This module has been tested successfully on Viscosity 1.4.1 over Mac OS X
     10.7.5.
