All code - for suEXEC has been carefully scrutinized and tested by the - developers as well as numerous beta testers. Every precaution - has been taken to ensure a simple yet solidly safe base of - code. Altering this code can cause unexpected problems and new - security risks. It is <strong>highly</strong> recommended you - not alter the suEXEC code unless you are well versed in the - particulars of security programming and are willing to share - your work with the Apache Group for consideration.</p> - - <p>Fourth, and last, it has been the decision of - the Apache Group to <strong>NOT</strong> make suEXEC part of - the default installation of Apache. To this end, suEXEC - configuration requires of the administrator careful attention - to details. After due consideration has been given to the - various settings for suEXEC, the administrator may install - suEXEC through normal installation methods. The values for - these settings need to be carefully determined and specified by - the administrator to properly maintain system security during - the use of suEXEC functionality. It is through this detailed - process that the Apache Group hopes to limit suEXEC - installation only to those who are careful and determined - enough to use it.</p> - - <p>Still with us? Yes? Good.

By doing so, you may better understand what - exactly is going on inside suEXEC and what precautions are - taken to ensure your system's security.</p> - - <p><strong>suEXEC</strong> is based on a setuid - "wrapper" program that is called by the main Apache web server. - This wrapper is called when an HTTP request is made for a CGI - or SSI program that the administrator has designated to run as - a userid other than that of the main server. When such a - request is made, Apache provides the suEXEC wrapper with the - program's name and the user and group IDs under which the - program is to execute.</p> - - <p>The wrapper then employs the following process - to determine success or failure -- if any one of these - conditions fail, the program logs the failure and exits with an - error, otherwise it will continue:</p> - - <ol> - <li> - <strong>Is the user executing this wrapper a valid user of - this system?</strong> - - <p class="indent"> - This is to ensure that the user executing the wrapper is - truly a user of the system. - </p> - </li> - - <li> - <strong>Was the wrapper called with the proper number of - arguments?</strong> - - <p class="indent"> - The wrapper will only execute if it is given the proper - number of arguments. The proper argument format is known - to the Apache web server.

If you are - using a "simple" <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir">UserDir</a></code> - directive (ie. one without a "*" in it) this should be set to the same - value. suEXEC will not work properly in cases where the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir">UserDir</a></code> directive points to - a location that is not the same as the user's home directory - as referenced in the <code>passwd</code> file. Default value is - "<code>public_html</code>".<br /> - If you have virtual hosts with a different <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir">UserDir</a></code> for each, - you will need to define them to all reside in one parent - directory; then name that parent directory here. <strong>If - this is not defined properly, "~userdir" cgi requests will - not work!</strong></dd> - - <dt><code>--with-suexec-docroot=<em>DIR</em></code></dt> - - <dd>Define as the DocumentRoot set for Apache.

The - default directory is the <code>--datadir</code> value with the suffix - "<code>/htdocs</code>", <em>e.g.</em> if you configure with - "<code>--datadir=/home/apache</code>" the directory - "<code>/home/apache/htdocs</code>" is used as document root for the - suEXEC wrapper.</dd> - - <dt><code>--with-suexec-uidmin=<em>UID</em></code></dt> - - <dd>Define this as the lowest UID allowed to be a target user - for suEXEC.

The binary image - <code>suexec</code> is installed in the directory defined by the - <code>--sbindir</code> option. The default location is - "/usr/local/apache2/bin/suexec".</p> - - <p>Please note that you need <strong><em>root - privileges</em></strong> for the installation step. In order - for the wrapper to set the user ID, it must be installed as - owner <code><em>root</em></code> and must have the setuserid - execution bit set for file modes.</p> - - - <h3>Setting paranoid permissions</h3> - - - <p>Although the suEXEC wrapper will check to ensure that its - caller is the correct user as specified with the - <code>--with-suexec-caller</code> <code class="program"><a href="./programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> - option, there is - always the possibility that a system or library call suEXEC uses - before this check may be exploitable on your system.
