Full Discussion: Apache write permission issues to another user owned directory
Top Forums Web Development Apache write permission issues to another user owned directory Post 302862011 by Scott on Thursday 10th of October 2013 04:41:51 AM

I would change the Apache user and group back to the original, then create a new group, add users prob and wwwrun to it, then change the group ownership of the /mydirectory directory to that group, change the permissions to rwx and set the SGID bit on it. Ideally, perhaps, you would want to create a new directory instead of using one owned by the prod user.

upsset.conf

UPSSET.CONF(5)						      Network UPS Tools (NUT)						    UPSSET.CONF(5)

NAME

       upsset.conf - Configuration for Network UPS Tools upsset.cgi

DESCRIPTION

       This  file  only  does  one  job - it lets you convince upsset.cgi(8) that your system's CGI directory is secure.  The program will not run
       until this file has been properly defined.

SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

       upsset.cgi(8) allows you to try login name and password combinations.  There is no rate limiting, as the program shuts down  between  every
       request.  Such is the nature of CGI programs.

       Normally,  attackers would not be able to access your upsd(8) server directly as it would be protected by the ACCESS/ACL directives in your
       upsd.conf(5) file and hopefully local firewall settings in your OS.

       Since upsset runs on your web server, it could provide a passage from the outside to the inside,  bypassing  any  firewall  rules  or  upsd
       access control limitations, since it appears to be coming from the web server.  This is why you must secure it first.

       On  Apache,  you can use the .htaccess file or put the directives in your httpd.conf.  It looks something like this, assuming the .htaccess
       method:

		   <Files upsset.cgi>
		   deny from all
		   allow from your.network.addresses
		   </Files>

       You will probably have to set "AllowOverride Limit" for this directory in your server-level configuration file as well.

       If this doesn't make sense, then stop reading and leave this program alone.  It's not something you absolutely need to have anyway.

       Assuming you have all this done, and it actually works (test it!), then you may add the following directive to this file:

	    I_HAVE_SECURED_MY_CGI_DIRECTORY

       If you lie to the program and someone beats on your upsd through your web server, don't blame me.
