    Linux: Default Red Hat 7.2 Install

    How secure is a basic install of Red Hat Linux 7.2, with Apache, PHP, MySQL, OpenSSH Server, and WU-FTPD Server installed via RPM and then running up2date to get security updates? Apache should be good, but PHP and MySQL are known to be easily misconfigured, and the WU-FTPD might not be the best.

    Thanks.

    You never quit trashing IIS do you, even when it can be patched...

    Bah - I've already got scanned for old PHP and Apache CGI holes...

    Just like IIS, three of the programs I've listed (PHP, OpenSSH, and WU-FTPD) needed a patch from Red Hat to be up to date on security...
