'Name' => "Linux Mint 'yelp' URI handler command injection vulnerability",  
'Description' => %q{  
This module exploits a vulnerability within the "ghelp", "help" and "man" URI handlers within   
Linux Mint's "ubuntu-system-adjustments" package. Invoking any one the URI handlers will call   
the python script "/usr/local/bin/yelp" with the contents of the supplied URI handler as its argument.   
The script will then search for the strings "gnome-help" or "ubuntu-help" and if doesn't find either   
of them it'll then execute os.system("/usr/bin/yelp %s" % args). User interaction is required to exploit   
this vulnerability.
