This module exploits a flaw in the Clam AntiVirus suite 'clamav-milter' (Sendmail mail filter). Versions prior to v0.92.2 are vulnerable. When implemented with black hole mode enabled, it is possible to execute commands remotely due to an insecure popen call.

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/unix/smtp/clamav_milter_blackhole
msf exploit(clamav_milter_blackhole) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(clamav_milter_blackhole) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(clamav_milter_blackhole) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(clamav_milter_blackhole) > exploit
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
