+ <affected>
+ <package name="www-apache/mod_security" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ mod_security is an Apache module designed for enhancing the security of
+ the Apache web server.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Stefan Esser discovered that mod_security processes NULL characters as
+ terminators in POST requests using the
+ application/x-www-form-urlencoded encoding type, while other parsers
+ used in web applications do not.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="low">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could send a specially crafted POST request, possibly
+ bypassing the module ruleset and leading to the execution of arbitrary
+ code in the scope of the web server with the rights of the user running
+ the web server.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All mod_security users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-apache/mod_security-2.1.1&quot;</code>
