        It's an executable. It's suid is set, it's owned by root:root and allows
all to execute.

        It's a perl script, it has it's SUID bit set and is owned by root:root.

        I checks a few files, runs the capture program, runs another program that
transforms the image based on some settings and outputs the result. The
script returns content type jpg and spits out the jpg data. It works as
root, and it works if I change it to work on output saved from before.

        port = 0x378: access denied, or something like that.
