This means that httpd is not confined by the SELinux policy.  This means
you have less protection against a compromise or misconfiguration of
httpd or CGI scripts.

Since the default is for it to be enabled, someone (possibly you)
disabled SELinux protection for httpd; you can reenable it by using
system-config-securitylevel (or 
"setsebool -P httpd_disable_trans=false").
