Descriptions

The multipart processor in ModSecurity before 2.5.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a multipart form datapost request with a missing part header name, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.

El procesador multipart en ModSecurity anterior a v2.5.9, permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) a través de una petición multipart form datapost con un "part header name" perdido, lo que provoca una deferencia a puntero nulo (NULL).
