CVE-2000-0703

This exploit leverages a race condition in suidperl combined with an undocumented feature in /bin/mail to execute arbitrary commands as root. It creates a malicious filename with embedded shell commands and triggers suidperl's security check failure to send a mail notification, which then executes the commands via the 'interactive' environment variable.
