'Name' => 'Morris Worm sendmail Debug Mode Shell Escape',
'Description' => %q{
This module exploits sendmail's well-known historical debug mode to
escape to a shell and execute commands in the SMTP RCPT TO command.
This vulnerability was exploited by the Morris worm in 1988-11-02.
Cliff Stoll reports on the worm in the epilogue of The Cuckoo's Egg.
Currently only cmd/unix/reverse and cmd/unix/generic are supported.
