Description Arenas Belon, Carlo Marcelo 2000-11-03 10:39:25 UTC

apache's package is bundled with two "test" (default) cgi installed that
are remotely accesible on :

  http://servername/cgi-bin/printenv
  http://servername/cgi-bin/test-cgi

they are not currently enabled (as no +x bit is set) but they would send an
"Internal Server Error" message on excecution, letting a remote 
cracker to diferenciate between 7.0 and 6.x systems.

also, installing non functional scripts is problematic as explained on
#20270, but those scripts are of no utility and should be avoided when
possible as have been used as a remote breaking tool at least once on the
past.

as there is no reference of the reason why it are now enabled i guess it
should be on error, so a fix should be made.

Comment 1 Arenas Belon, Carlo Marcelo 2001-01-10 18:27:23 UTC

prinenv and test-cgi are still on apache-1.3.14-6 from beta2

Comment 2 Nalin Dahyabhai 2001-01-12 02:40:43 UTC

They will be moved from the cgi-bin directory to the documentation tree in
1.3.14-7 and later.
