Description

This module exploits a command execution vulnerability in the
PGP plugin of SquirrelMail. This flaw was found while quickly
grepping the code after release of some information at
http://www.wslabi.com/. Later, iDefense published an advisory ....

Reading an email in SquirrelMail with the PGP plugin activated
is enough to compromise the underlying server.

Only "cmd/unix/generic" payloads were tested.
