Description

This module exploits a vulnerability in the OpenX advertising software.
In versions prior to version 2.8.2, authenticated users can upload files
with arbitrary extensions to be used as banner creative content. By uploading
a file with a PHP extension, an attacker can execute arbitrary PHP code.

NOTE: The file must also return either "png", "gif", or "jpeg" as its image
type as returned from the PHP getimagesize() function.
