I've never seen this particular CGI before, but spam relaying via broken 
CGI scripts has been popular among spammers for a VERY long time... 
FormMail.pl has been a long time favorite, but the use of other CGI's 
doesn't surprise me.

Abusing insecure proxies (socks or HTTP) is also popular trick for 
spammers, as is installing trojan horses and/or backdoors, much like is 
done for DDoS attacks.
