suexec is used by the Apache HTTP Server to switch

Packit 90a5c9
     to another user before executing CGI programs. In order to achieve this,
Packit 90a5c9
     it must run as root. Since the HTTP daemon normally doesn't
Packit 90a5c9
     run as root, the suexec executable needs the
Packit 90a5c9
     setuid bit set and must be owned by root. It should never be
Packit 90a5c9
     writable for any other person than root.

Packit 90a5c9
     of suexec please refer to the suexec documentation (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/suexec.html).
