+## Description
+
+  This module attempts to gain root privileges on RHEL systems with
+  a vulnerable version of Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) configured
+  as the crash handler.
+
+  `sosreport` uses an insecure temporary directory, allowing local users
+  to write to arbitrary files (CVE-2015-5287). This module uses a symlink
+  attack on `/var/tmp/abrt/cc-*$pid/` to overwrite the `modprobe` path
+  in `/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe`, resulting in root privileges.
+
+  Waiting for `sosreport` could take a few minutes.
+
+
+## Vulnerable Application
+
+  This module has been tested successfully on:
+
+  * abrt 2.1.11-12.el7 on RHEL 7.0 x86_64
+  * abrt 2.1.11-19.el7 on RHEL 7.1 x86_64
+
+
+## Verification Steps
+
+  1. Start `msfconsole`
+  2. Get a session
+  3. `use exploit/linux/local/abrt_sosreport_priv_esc`
+  4. `set SESSION [SESSION]`
+  5. `check`
+  6. `run`
+  7. You should get a new *root* session
+
+
+## Options
+
+  **TIMEOUT**
+
+  Timeout for `sosreport` (seconds) (default: `600`)
+
+  **WritableDir**
+
+  A writable directory file system path. (default: `/tmp`)
+
+
