otherwise not havethese special permissions.

Corrective Action:

Webservers should not be allowed to view or execute files and binaries
outside of it'sdesignated web root or cgi-bin.Whenever possible,
sensitive files andcertain areas of the filesystem should have the
system immutable flagset to negate the use of the chown command. On
BSD derived systems,setting the systems runtime securelevel also
prevents the securelevelfrom being changed. (note: the securelevel can
only beincreased)
