Re: FYI: Apache httpd NoFollowSymLink follows symlinks feature

TheFAQ says: "You can usually avoid problems by either finding the Options directive that already applies to a specific directory and changing it, or by putting your Options directive inside the most specific possible <Directory> section." The option is in the most specific directory section and it also takes effect, returning forbidden on http request. But when you use the RenameLoop program in parallel, it fails to detect the symlink and delivers the linked data. This specific TOCTOU issue is known and part of the apache specification.
I didn't mean to imply otherwise, I've just explained what does the +/- before an option does. Tyrael _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
