To disable or not to disable shell_exec and readfile.
I haven't found any possible problems about enabling readfile but regarding shell_exec, I might be vulnerable to phpshell scripts though if the server is correcly configured (suPHP, suoshin, etc.), the risks are minimun.
How to disable those functions on VPS with Lxadmin and CentOS 5
show_source, system, shell_exec, passthru, exec,
phpinfo, popen, proc_open, base64_decode, base64_encodem, proc_terminate
My existing web host has disabled shell_exec and one of my php scripts requires it to work, so is shell_exec dangerous? Would you have it enabled on your servers or is it typical for it to be disabled?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running into a few problems when it comes to using the above command. No it is not being blocked in the php.ini file. The issue has to do with permissions. On my old server everything worked fine until I moved over to this new server.
$who = shell_exec("whoami");
echo "$who";
When I run that commend on the old server I got that users username. Which, makes since as that means anything created via PHP would be owned by that user. In fact, every other host I know of was like that. But, on the new server when I run the commend it shows up as "nobody". How can I fix this so my commands will run properly for me and my users?

Our security comlience test got failed due to following reason
Synopsis:
The remote service encrypts traffic using a protocol with known weaknesses.
Description:
The remote service accepts connections encrypted using SSL 2.0, which reportedly suffers from several cryptographic flaws and has been deprecated for several years. An attacker may be able to exploit these issues to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks or decrypt communications between the affected service and clients.
Solution:
Consult the application's documentation to disable SSL 2.0 and use SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0 instead. See for Apache.
We have Cpanel RHEL server. Please advise how to:

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've seen for securing PHP recommends putting parse_ini_file() in the disable_functions line in php.ini but I cannot find an exact reason why. This being disabled is causing an error message to appear on some of my users sites but I'm trying to find a clear cut reason why it is disabled.

is it possible to disable log rotate? I can't seem to find the cron under my weeklys or dailys nor monthlys unless it's named "mad-db" but is there a way to make it say yearly? or just disable it all together? I say this because the script I use has a function already to clear the logs and when log rotate runs it kills all processes going by the script
