4.3 MEDIUM — AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Description

ModSecurity before 2.6.6, when used with PHP, does not properly handle single quotes not at the beginning of a request parameter value in the Content-Disposition field of a request with a multipart/form-data Content-Type header, which allows remote attackers to bypass filtering rules and perform other attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2009-5031.

Affected configurations

• trustwave modsecurity (< 2.6.6) • opensuse opensuse 11.4 • opensuse opensuse 12.2 • opensuse opensuse 12.3 • debian debian linux 6.0 • debian debian linux 7.0 • oracle http server 11.1.1.6.0
