      'Description'    => %q{
        This module exploits a shellshock vulnerability on Qmail, a public
        domain MTA written in C that runs on Unix systems.
        Due to the lack of validation on the MAIL FROM field, it is possible to
        execute shell code on a system with a vulnerable BASH (Shellshock).
        This flaw works on the latest Qmail versions (qmail-1.03 and
        netqmail-1.06).
        However, in order to execute code, /bin/sh has to be linked to bash
        (usually default configuration) and a valid recipient must be set on the
        RCPT TO field (usually admin@exampledomain.com).
        The exploit does not work on the "qmailrocks" community version
        as it ensures the MAILFROM field is well-formed.
