Fix Recommendation

Determine the location of the "HTTPD_ROOT" directory and the "httpd.conf" file:

# httpd -V | egrep -i 'httpd_root|server_config_file'
-D HTTPD_ROOT="/etc/httpd"
-D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd.conf"

Disable MIME types for .exe, .dll, .com, .bat, and .csh programs.

If "Action" or "AddHandler" exist and they configure any of the following (.exe, .dll, .com, .bat, or .csh), remove those references.

Restart Apache: apachectl restart

Ensure this process is documented and approved by the ISSO.
