This Metasploit module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in the Barracuda Spam and Virus firewall firmware versions 5.1.3.007 and below by exploiting a vulnerability in the web administration interface. By sending a specially crafted request it's possible to inject system commands while escalating to root do to relaxed sudo configuration on the local machine.
