Apache HTTP Server Version 2.1

suexec
is used by the Apache HTTP Server to switch
to another user before executing CGI programs. In order to achieve this,
it must run as root
. Since the HTTP daemon normally doesn't
run as root
, the suexec
executable needs the
setuid bit set and must be owned by root
. It should never be
writable for any other person than root
.
For further information about the concepts and and the security model of suexec please refer to the suexec documentation (http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/suexec.html).
