Apache HTTP Server
TMA-APACHE-1.3
Ensure Apache Is Installed From the Appropriate Binaries
Description
The CIS Apache Benchmark recommends using the Apache binary provided by your vendor for most situations in order to reduce the effort and increase the effectiveness of maintenance and security patches. However, to keep the benchmark as generic and applicable to all Unix/Linux platforms as possible, a default source build has been used for this benchmark. Important Note ... Manual review: the benchmark gives no reliable automated check for this control.
