sbox: Put CGI Scripts in a Box
1. Abstract
sbox is a CGI wrapper script that allows Web site hosting services to safely grant CGI authoring privileges to untrusted clients.
In addition to changing the process privileges of client scripts to match their owners, it goes beyond other wrappers by placing configurable ceilings on script resource usage, avoiding unintentional (as well as intentional) denial of service attacks. It also optionally allows the Webmaster to place client's CGI scripts in a chroot'ed shell restricted to the author's home directories.
Sbox is compatible with all Web servers running under BSD-derived flavors of Unix. You can use and redistribute it freely.
You can have a look at Stein Laboratory's page for more information about sbox.

NEW!!! This new release (1.07-R1) comes with a FreeBSD port, so it's now possible to include SBOX in any other project's dependancy. Process is on the way to have SBOX included in FreeBSD port tree.
Note that this Debian package is mature enough to be uploaded to the main Debian repository, but its waiting for a sponsor or an advocate. Please contact thomas [ at ] goirand [ dot ] fr if you are interested and if you are a registered Debian maintainer.
