Package: apache
Version: N/A
Severity: normal

Apache will call suexec in "user" mode (specifying a user to su to), when
any URL starts with ~/.  It does not check if UserDir has been disabled before
doing this.

ViewCvs (and cvsweb) use the token "~checkout~" at the front of a URL to
indicate that the file should be downloaded from CVS.  If a server is setup
such as "cvs.example.com", with a rewrite rule pointing at the CGI script,
suexec will be run, and try to switch to user "checkout", which is incorrect.

This bug should probably be forwarded upstream.  I think a test to see if
userdir is disabled, and if so, pass any parameters verbatim, would solve
the problem.

You filled the bug http://bugs.debian.org/70982 in Debian BTS
against the package apache. I'm closing it at *unstable*, but it will
remain open for older distributions.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/418266. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
