Bug#341022: default apache2.conf file should deny access to /



Package: apache2
Version: 2.0.54-5
Severity: important
Tags: patch


The default configuration file, apache2.conf, of apache2 should have the
following directory denying directive in apache2.conf instead of the
000-default VirtualHost because if a VirtualHost is added and under that
VirtualHost's DocumentRoot the user makes a symlink to "/", he can
access the whole filesystem.

Config lines to be added to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf:

<Directory />
        Order Deny,Allow
	Deny from all
</Directory>
