20.7 Avoiding Security Problems
A Web server exposed to the public Internet requires an ongoing administrative effort.
It is inevitable that security issues appear, both related to the software and to accidental
misconguration. Here are some tips for how to deal with them.
20.7.1 Up-to-Date Software
If there are vulnerabilities found in the Apache software, a security advisory will be
issued by SUSE. It contains instructions for xing the vulnerabilities, which in turn
should be applied as soon as possible. The SUSE security announcements are available
from the following locations:
•
Web Page http://www.novell.com/linux/security/
securitysupport.html
•
Mailing List Archive http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse
-security-announce/
•
RSS Feed http://www.novell.com/linux/security/suse_security

20.7.2 DocumentRoot Permissions
By default in openSUSE, the DocumentRoot directory /srv/www/htdocs and
the CGI directory /srv/www/cgi-bin belong to the user and group root. You
should not change these permissions. If the directories are writable for all, any user can
place les into them. These les might then be executed by Apache with the permissions
of wwwrun, which may give the user unintended access to le system resources. Use
subdirectories of /srv/www to place the DocumentRoot and CGI directories for
your virtual hosts and make sure that directories and les belong to user and group
root.
