Description
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-5638
We should consider to simulate this to prevent compromising the system.
We should be careful when simulating this, as we do want to have exact exploit to be replayed in this challenge. So we have to understand exactly how the attack works before doing the simulation.
