4. Author: mat@hacksware.com
5. Type: Input validation Error

6. Explanation
 gbook.cgi is used by some web sites.
 We can set _MAILTO parameter, and popen is called to execute mail command.
 If ';' is used in _MAILTO variable, you can execute arbitrary command with it.
 It's so trivial. :)
7. Exploits
 This exploit executes "ps -ax" command and sends the result to haha@yaho.com.
