Web Server
An XCCDF Group
Description
The web server is responsible for providing access to
content via the HTTP protocol. Web servers represent a significant
security risk because:
- The HTTP port is commonly probed by malicious sources
- Web server software is very complex, and includes a long history of vulnerabilities
- The HTTP protocol is unencrypted and vulnerable to passive monitoring
The system's default web server software is Apache 2 and is provided in the RPM package
httpd.
