Hi Emilio

Looks good to me (but I haven't tested).

For one thing, you have to change the authentication scheme, (maybe
remove the template, not sure if one is included by default), and log
into cacti with a valid http user (but non-existing cacti user).

It was for the last point that I mentioned it. As cacti before the
current stretch package didn't run out-of-the-box, it would require
additional logic to even work on a CI framework (such as making sure
that the admin password is the same as the cacti/www-data password and
actually configuring the cacti pages). But if cacti works on your VM, it
should be simple to run the test (usually takes several minutes though).
My intention is to add tests for all the CVE's that I fix as well, but
as you can see in the test, I wasn't successful with CVE-2016-3659,
however, a check for CVE-2016-3172 is in.
