'Name' => 'Zimbra zmslapd arbitrary module load',
'Description' => %q{
This module exploits CVE-2022-37393, which is a vulnerability in
Zimbra's sudo configuration that permits the zimbra user to execute
the zmslapd binary as root with arbitrary parameters. As part of its
intended functionality, zmslapd can load a user-defined configuration
file, which includes plugins in the form of .so files, which also
execute as root.
