Description Stefan Huber 2006-08-28 06:10:16 UTC

when using an external program to check uploaded files with mod_security and suexec is activated, the program will be called as the proper user which don't have reading permission to the temporary file.

Solution:
when compiling with '-D DISABLE_SUEXEC' this problem will be circumvented. (either the user apache runs the command or the file has other rights. didn't check that)

Proposal:
an additional useflag for mod_security or the ebuild checks if 'no-suexec' is set for apache and extends the ebuild variables APXS2_ARGS & APXS1_ARGS with '-D DISABLE_SUEXEC'
