[cobalt-developers] Security issues with running files owned by httpd under a virtual site.



Can some one comments on such a scenario as far as security goes:

I have a site (site2) and that site's DocumentRoot is "/web"
(/home/sites/site2/web) Then I cam and I created folders to be used.

Under (/home/sites/site2) I created two folders as follow:

drwx-wx---   2 site4_admin     httpd        1024 Jun 23 17:14 folder1
drwx------   2 httpd           site4        1024 Jun 23 19:51 folder2

Under (/home/sites/site2/web) I have:

dr-x------  12 httpd    httpd        1024 Jun 23 02:40 folder3


Thus, folder3 is browsable and set to rx just for httpd, now the issue is
that am I violating any Cobalt rules. In other words is it secure to do the
above or am i opening a security whole? Any trouble I might get into other
than the Quota for that virtual site (site2).

Any advice is highly appreciated,

KAL
