    Package        : modsecurity-apache     Version        : 2.9.3-1+deb10u2     CVE ID         : CVE-2022-48279 CVE-2023-24021     Debian Bug     : 1029329

    Multiple issues were found in modsecurity-apache, open source, cross     platform web application firewall (WAF) engine for Apache which allows     remote attackers to bypass the applications firewall and other     unspecified impact.

    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.

    CVE-2023-24021

        Incorrect handling of null-bytes in file uploads in ModSecurity         before 2.9.7 may allow for Web Application Firewall bypasses and         buffer iverflows on the Web Application Firewall when executing         rules reading the FILES_TMP_CONTENT collection.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     2.9.3-1+deb10u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your modsecurity-apache packages.
