ermm well running php in safe mode u specify a number of parameters like a
directory where exec(), passthru() etc can only get to, i.e they can only
execute binarys within that given directory. more linkage here
http://php.lamphost.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.php

perl / cgi not sure.. is there something similiar to php's safe mode ? maybe
havent checked.. maybe chmod binarys to be used by root only ?

personally i dont allow cgi or php to anyone i dont trust.. roughly
translated to "you can only host static html on my cobalt" :p

anyway old bug theres ways to patch em, google is your friend. anyway
original point was to david is this what he was talking about as its been
like this since i started using linux.
