Disable MIME Magic
An XCCDF Rule
Description
The mime_magic module provides a second layer of MIME support that in most configurations
is likely extraneous. If its functionality is unnecessary, comment out the related module:
#LoadModule mime_magic_module modules/mod_mime_magic.so
Rationale
Minimizing the number of loadable modules available to the web server reduces risk by limiting the capabilities allowed by the web server.
