'Name' => 'Nostromo Directory Traversal Remote Command Execution',
'Description' => %q{
This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in
Nostromo <= 1.9.6. This issue is caused by a directory traversal
in the function `http_verify` in nostromo nhttpd allowing an attacker
to achieve remote code execution via a crafted HTTP request.
