Mod_security 1.8.5 has been released. It is available for immediate download from: http://www.modsecurity.org/download/ This maintenance release relaxes several minor problems discovered in 1.8.4. Please see the changes below for more details. About mod_security ------------------ Mod_security is an Apache module whose purpose is to protect vulnerable applications and reject human or automated attacks. It is an open source intrusion detection and prevention system for Apache. In addition to request filtering, it also creates Web application audit logs. Requests are filtered using regular expressions. Some of the things possible are: * Apply filters against any part of the request (URI, headers, either GET or POST) * Apply filters against individual parameters * Reject SQL injection attacks * Reject Cross site scripting attacks With few general rules mod_security can protect from both known and unknown vulnerabilities. Changes (v1.8.5) ---------------- * BUG (Apache 2 and Windows only) Fixed a problem that caused requests to fail when request body buffering requires a temporary file to be used for storage. * BUG A request for a folder, which requires mod_dir to find the index file and perform a redirection, would sometimes result in a false positive (under some rare circumstances). Fixed. * BUG Not defining a debug log explicitly used to prevent mod_security messages from reaching the main error log. Fixed. * BUG (Apache 2 only) Dynamic request body buffering control did not work in the Apache 2 version of the module. Fixed. * BUG (Apache 1 only) Removed a harmless message (about escaped_the_request being null) from being logged into the error log. -- ModSecurity (http://www.modsecurity.org) [ Open source IDS for Web applications ] |

Please see the changes below for more details. I am still running 1.7.7. Can I upgrade to 1.8.5 without significant changes? (especially to the chroot thingy).

I don't think you should experience any difficulties. But wait for a couple days, I will release 1.8.6 early next week to fix another small issue that has just popped up. -- ModSecurity (http://www.modsecurity.org) [ Open source IDS for Web applications ] |
