I ran some security tests on a Ubuntu 12.04 Server, and I've got these warnings :
PHP may be executing as a "privileged" group, which could be a serious security vulnerability.
PHP may be executing as a "privileged" user, which could be a serious security vulnerability.
In /etc/apache2/envvars, I have this:
export APACHE_RUN_USER=www-data
export APACHE_RUN_GROUP=www-data
And all files in /var/www are having these user/group: www-data:www-data
Am I setting this correctly? What should I do to fix this problem?
