    CVE-2003-1426

    Openwebmail in cPanel 5.0, when run using suid Perl, adds the directory in the SCRIPT_FILENAME environment variable to Perl's @INC include array, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code by modifying SCRIPT_FILENAME to reference a directory containing a malicious openwebmail-shared.pl executable.
