      Remote Command Execution Vulnerability In oMail
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

     <http://webmail.omnis.ch/omail.pl?action=about> oMail-webmail is "a
    Webmail solution for mail server based on qmail and optionally vmailmgr or
    vpopmail". A vulnerability in oMail-webmail allows a remote user to run
    arbitrary code on the server.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * oMail-webmail version 0.98.5

    The regular expression used to filter out " and ' doesn't help prevent
    executing code using other meta-characters, both back ticks and more
    arcane ways of shell expansion $(rm -rf /) are still possible.

    Patch:
    Fix this vulnerability by replacing the regular expression around line 411
    in omail.pl to something like: $password = quotemeta($password);
