Bug#227653: suexec is on by default, breaks user cgi scripts if UserDir has changed



Package: apache2-common
Version: 2.0.48-4
Severity: normal

Read this strace and weep:

stat64("/home/joey/html/blog/index.cgi", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=1538, ...}) = 0
..
fork(Process 3822 attached
..
[pid  3822] execve("/usr/lib/apache2/suexec2", ["/usr/lib/apache2/suexec2", "~1000", "1000", "index.cgi"], [/* 22 vars*/]) = 0
..
[pid  3822] getcwd("/home/joey/html/blog", 4096) = 21
[pid  3822] chdir("/home/joey")         = 0
[pid  3822] chdir("public_html")        = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[pid  3822] time([1074057876])          = 1074057876
[pid  3822] write(3, "[2004-01-14 00:24:36]: cannot ge"..., 67) = 67

Note that I have my web server configured as follows:

root@dragon:/etc/apache2>grep UserDir -r .
./mods-enabled/userdir.conf:    UserDir html
./mods-available/userdir.conf:  UserDir html
./apache2.conf:UserDir html
root@dragon:/etc/apache2>grep -i suexec -r .
./mods-available/suexec.load:LoadModule suexec_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_suexec.so
root@dragon:/etc/apache2>ls mods-enabled/suexec*
zsh: no matches found: mods-enabled/suexec*

Why is suexec loaded even though it is not linked to mods-enabled?
Why does suexec ignore my UserDir setting and try to use a non-existant
"public_html" directory?

The workaround, as with every suexec problem I have ever filed a bug
on (and there have been many):

root@dragon:/usr/lib/apache2>dpkg-divert --add `pwd`/suexec2 --rename
