16
        This module exploits the Shellshock vulnerability, a flaw in how the Bash shell
17
        handles external environment variables. This module targets dhclient by responding
18
        to DHCP requests with a malicious hostname, domainname, and URL which are then
19
        passed to the configuration scripts as environment variables, resulting in code
20
        execution. Due to length restrictions and the unusual networking scenario at the
21
        time of exploitation, this module achieves code execution by writing the payload
22
        into /etc/crontab and then cleaning it up after a session is created.
