This commit contains the binaries that are needed for Juan's sandbox
escape functionality (ie. the updated old libloader code). It also
contains rebuilt binaries for all meterpreter plugins.
I've also added command line build scripts for the sandbox escapes
and added that to the "exploits" build.
Anemone::Page is not a Rex HTTP request/response, and uses the
:cookies method to return an array of cookies.
This resolves the method naming error, though it does break with
Rex naming convention since Anemone still uses a lot non-Rex
methods for working with pages/traffic.
Note, this will cause developer environments to complain until Ruby is
reinstalled. It's probably a good idea to reinstall anyway, though,
since people who haven't in a while may have been linked against a
Heartbleed-vulnerable openssl library.
There are still strong reservations about using Nokogiri to parse
untrusted XML data.

It is also believed that many desktop operating systems are still
shipping out-of-date and vulnerable libxml2 libraries, which become
exposed via Nokogiri. For example:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18627075/nokogiri-1-6-0-still-pulls-in-wrong-version-of-libxml-on-os-x
While this isn't a problem for binary builds of Metasploit (Metasploit
Community, Express, or Pro) it can be a problem for development
versions or Kali's / Backtrack's version.
So, the compromise here is to allow for modules that don't directly
expose XML parsing. I can't say for sure that the various libxml2
vulnerabilities (current and future) aren't also exposed via
`Nokogiri::HTML` but I also can't come up with a reasonable demo.
Metasploit committers should still look at any module that relies on
Nokogiri very carefully, and suggest alternatives if there are any. But,
it's sometimes going to be required for complex HTML parsing.
tl;dr: Use REXML for XML parsing, and Nokogiri for HTML parsing if you
absolutely must.
