The web server must protect system resources and privileged operations from hosted applications.
From: Web Server Security Requirements Guide (V4R4)
Description
<VulnDiscussion>A web server may host one too many applications. Each application will need certain system resources and privileged operations to operate correctly. The web server must be configured to contain and control the applications and protect the system resources and privileged operations from those not needed by the application for operation.
Limiting the application will confine the potential harm a compromised application could cause to a system.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
