This module abuses a lack of authorization in the NetIQ Privileged User Manager
service (unifid.exe) to execute arbitrary perl code. The problem exists in the
ldapagnt module. The module has been tested successfully on NetIQ PUM 2.3.1 over
Windows 2003 SP2, which allows to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
