Barracuda · Barracuda Spam Firewall · CVE-2005-2849
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Barracuda Spam Firewall versions 3.1.16 through 3.1.17
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to read portions of source code via the -f option to `dig device.cgi`, determine file existence via the -r argument to `tcpdump device.cgi`, or modify files in the cgi-bin directory via the -w argument to `tcpdump device.cgi`.
**Recommendations**
For versions 3.1.16 and 3.1.17, consider restricting access to the `dig device.cgi` and `tcpdump device.cgi` scripts until a patch is available.
As a temporary workaround, avoid using the -f option with `dig device.cgi`, the -r argument with `tcpdump device.cgi`, and the -w argument with `tcpdump device.cgi` to minimize the risk of exploitation.
