TITLE:
ModSecurity Two Denial of Service Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34256

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34256/

DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in ModSecurity, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

1) An error in the PDF XSS protection implementation can be exploited
to cause a crash via a specially crafted HTTP request.

Successful exploitation requires that PDF XSS protection is enabled
(disabled by default).

2) An error when parsing multipart requests can be exploited to cause
a crash via multipart content with a missing part header name.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.5.9.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits:
1) Steve Grubb, Red Hat
2) Internet Security Auditors
