Quick Fix: Use "Options IncludesNoExec" to resolveUse "Options IncludesNoExec" to resolve.  The exec command executes a given shell command or CGI script. Options IncludesNOEXEC disables this command completely so the server-side includes module cannot execute commands. It is recommended you do not use the Includes option but instead use IncludesNoExec.  Example: Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExecSecurity issue: if the system is configured with "AllowOverride Options=IncludesNoEXEC", a local user can place "Options Includes" in a '.htaccess' file to cause Server Side Includes to be enabled with exec privileges.  This is verified on Apache version 2.2.11 as a reported vulnerability.The exec command executes a given shell command or CGI script. It requires mod_cgi to be present in the server. If Options IncludesNOEXEC is set, this command is completely disabled.The exec command could potentially enable an attacker to execute commands on the system.
