"BizDB is a web database integration product using Perl CGI scripts.
One of the scripts, bizdb-search.cgi, passes a variable's contents to
an unchecked open() call and can therefore be made to execute commands
at the privilege level of the web server.

The variable is dbname, and if passed a semicolon followed by shell
commands they will be executed. This cannot be exploited from a
browser, as the software checks for a referrer field in the HTTP
request. A valid referrer field can however be created and sent
programmatically or via a network utility like netcat.");
