QNAP NAS/NVR Administrator Hash Disclosure

Description

This module exploits combined heap and stack buffer overflows for QNAP
NAS and NVR devices to dump the admin (root) shadow hash from memory via
an overwrite of __libc_argv[0] in the HTTP-header-bound glibc backtrace.

A binary search is performed to find the correct offset for the BOFs.
Since the server forks, blind remote exploitation is possible, provided
the heap does not have ASLR.
