+      'Description'    => %q{
+        This modules exploits a buffer overflow in the Quest Privilege Manager,
+        a software used to integrate Active Directory with Linux and Unix systems.
+        The vulnerability exists in the pmmasterd daemon, and can only triggered when
+        the host has been configured as a policy server ( Privilege Manager for Unix
+        or Quest Sudo Plugin). A buffer overflow condition exists when handling
+        requests of type ACT_ALERT_EVENT, where the size of a memcpy can be
+        controlled by the attacker. This module only works against version < 6.0.0-27.
+        Versions up to 6.0.0-50 are also vulnerable, but not supported by this module (a stack cookie bypass is required).
+        NOTE: To use this module it is required to be able to bind a privileged port ( <=1024 ) 
+        as the server refuses connections coming from unprivileged ports, which in most situations 
+        means that root privileges are required.
