Description

This module exploits a code execution flaw in AlienVault 4.6.1 and
prior. The vulnerability exists in the av-centerd SOAP web service,
where the update_system_info_debian_package method uses perl backticks
in an insecure way, allowing command injection. This module has been
tested successfully on AlienVault 4.6.0.
