Authenticated lowpriv RCE for Unitrends UEB 9.1
Tested against appliance versions:
  [+] 9.1.0-2.201611302120.CentOS6

This exploit utilizes some issues in UEB9 session handling to place a 
php exec one liner in the webroot of the appliance.

Session tokens looks like this:

djA6NmM0ZWMzYTEtZmYwYi00MTIxLTk3YzYtMjQzODljM2EyNjY1OjE6L3Vzci9icC9sb2dzLmRpci9ndWlfcm9vdC5sb2c6MA==

and decodes to this:
                                                            LOG_LVL ----,
   v --- UUID ----------------------- v   v -- LOG_DIR -----------v     v
v0:6c4ec3a1-ff0b-4121-97c6-24389c3a2665:1:/usr/bp/logs.dir/gui_root.log:0 

The general steps that are followed by this poc are:

1. Authenticate as a low priv user and receive an auth token.
2. Modify the LOG_DIR field to point to a directory in the web root
   with apache user write access, and make a request to an arbitrary resource.
   This should touch a new file at the desired location.
3. Replace the UUID token in this auth token with a php shell_exec on liner, 
   and modify the LOG_LVL parameter to a value of 5, which will ensure
   that the UUID is reflected into the log file.
4. Issue a final request, to generate a shell.php file with a single shell_exec.
   This step is not strictly necessary.
