Description

This module exploits a pre-auth file upload to install a new root user
to /etc/passwd and an SSH key to /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys.

FYI, /etc/{passwd,dropbear/authorized_keys} will be overwritten.
/etc/persistent/rc.poststart will be overwritten if PERSIST_ETC is true.

This method is used by the "mf" malware infecting these devices.
