Re: Apache security compromise



The log entries you quote do not indicate any security compromise. suexec is a utility used to all CGI scripts within a user's web space (~/public_html) to execute as the user rather than as the web browser. Such a thing is useful for a web service provider, but I don't find it useful for small organizations of mostly trusted users. To turn off suexec, just
  chmod u-s /usr/lib/apache/suexec
Unfortunately, any apache update will re-set the suid bit on this binary, and you'll have to repeat this step afterward.
