Description

This module exploits a command injection within Enlightenment's
enlightenment_sys binary. This is done by calling the mount
command and feeding it paths which meet all of the system
requirements, but execute a specific path as well due to a
semi-colon being used.
This module was tested on Ubuntu 22.04.1 X64 Desktop with
enlightenment 0.25.3-1 (current at module write time)
