There are 2 open security issues in bullseye.
2 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:
- CVE-2021-42717:
(needs triaging)
ModSecurity 3.x through 3.0.5 mishandles excessively nested JSON objects. Crafted JSON objects with nesting tens-of-thousands deep could result in the web server being unable to service legitimate requests. Even a moderately large (e.g., 300KB) HTTP request can occupy one of the limited NGINX worker processes for minutes and consume almost all of the available CPU on the machine. Modsecurity 2 is similarly vulnerable: the affected versions include 2.8.0 through 2.9.4.
- CVE-2023-38285:
(needs triaging)
Trustwave ModSecurity 3.x before 3.0.10 has Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity.
You can find information about how to handle these issues in the security team's documentation.
1 issue that should be fixed with the next stable update:
- CVE-2022-48279:
In ModSecurity before 2.9.6 and 3.x before 3.0.8, HTTP multipart requests were incorrectly parsed and could bypass the Web Application Firewall. NOTE: this is related to CVE-2022-39956 but can be considered independent changes to the ModSecurity (C language) codebase.
