    Not exactly. You are having access to the httpd child process, not a
    spawned CGI script. This means that you control some interesting goods,
    such as file descriptors, or... oh well, the child process itself. Think
    about serving spoofed contents to all requests? Besides, suexec is pretty
    popular nowadays.
