server.

<description>
<p>
Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in ModSecurity:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Juan Galiana Lara of ISecAuditors discovered a NULL pointer
dereference when processing multipart requests without a part header
name (CVE-2009-1902).</li>
<li>Steve Grubb of Red Hat reported that the
"PDF XSS protection" feature does not properly handle HTTP requests to
a PDF file that do not use the GET method (CVE-2009-1903).</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker might send requests containing specially crafted
multipart data or send certain requests to access a PDF file, possibly
resulting in a Denial of Service (crash) of the Apache HTTP daemon.
NOTE: The PDF XSS protection is not enabled by default.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All ModSecurity users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-apache/mod_security-2.5.9&quot;</code>
</resolution>
