Dan, did you come up with that on the spot or is there already a whitepaper
on it?
Anyway now that the cats out of the bag...  See attached. :)  No more bids
please.  Dan was correct.

Hello,
I am willing to sell a new attack vector I have devised.  The proof of
concept code you will receive has the ability to arbitrarily upload files
to
a webserver (tested on Apache), running linux with the well known perl
read
pipe vulnerability in many web CGI applications.  This issue can also be
leveraged through PHP LFI and RFI attacks, and through almost any other
remote command execution vulnerability.

If you have a remote command execution vulnerability, couldn't you
just leverage whatever useful binaries are available on the victim
machine (perl, python, echo) to simply copy your exploit/file/etc. to
disk by printing it byte-by-byte, possibly in pieces?  Did I ruin the
surprise?
