Qmail Remote Command Execution via Shellshock

The remote host appears to be running Qmail. A remote attacker can exploit Qmail to execute commands via a specially crafted MAIL FROM header if the remote host has a vulnerable version of Bash. This is due to the fact that Qmail does not properly sanitize input before setting environmental variables.

A negative result from this plugin does not prove conclusively that the remote system is not affected by Shellshock, only that Qmail could not be used to exploit the Shellshock flaw.
