Security problem htaccess and deny from + fix

LinqLOL

Basic Pleskian
Problem:
When you want to limit access to certain parts of your website (under fcg) and your using .htaccess (deny from all and allow from x.x.x.x). This currently only works for images, html and other non .php pages. php files can still be accessed by anyone! This is because of some stupid bug in the default template of Plesk.

Code:
<Files ~ (\.php)>
   SetHandler fcgid-script
  FCGIWrapper /var/www/cgi-bin/cgi_wrapper/cgi_wrapper .php
  Options +ExecCGI
  [COLOR="Red"]allow from all[/COLOR]
</Files>

This problem is also noted on http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?p=644997#post644997

FIX

The commands below will fix this problem. It is possible this file will be replaced in future versions. Don't blame me! It would
better if Plesk fixes this.

Code:
sed -i '/allow from all/d' /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/default/service/php_over_cgi.php
sed -i '/allow from all/d' /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/default/service/php_over_fastcgi.php
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-all
