Now it does not expect for SecServerSignature on the logs, just in the headers as the Nginx does in silence. - Fixed tnf/10-tfn-cache.t, action/10-logging.t, config/10-misc-directives.t, config/10-request-directives.t, misc/00-multipart-parser.t , misc/10-tfn-cache.t, rule/20-exceptions.t, rule/00-basics.t, rule/10-xml.t; - Increased the timeout while reading the auditlog; - SecAuditLogType Concurrent was removed from the regression test case, not compatible with all ports yet; - Regression tests were speeded up, as the number of tests are growing it is impossible to have it slow; - Fixed regression tests scripts paths, to make it MacOS friendly; - Avoiding dead locks on Nginx regression tests by enforcing a timeout whenever a request appears to fail; * Updates to fix errors found by Parfait static code analysis (Ref: #612); * Cleaning up on the repository, by removing unused files; * IIS installer now supports to perform the installation without register the DLL on the system. It means that the user can download our MSI installer as it was a tarball archive (Ref #629, #624); * IIS now support 32bits and 64bits pools, both are registered on IIS (Ref #628). Bug fix * Correctly handling inet_pton in IIS version; * Nginx was missing a terminator while the charset string was mounted (Ref: #148); * Added mod_extract_forwarded.c to run before mod_security2.c (Ref: #594); * Added missing environment variables to regression tests; * Build system is now more flexible by looking at liblua at: /usr/local/lib; * Fixed typo in README file. * Removed the non standard compliant HTTP response status code 44 from modsecurity recommended file (Ref: #665); * Fixed segmentation fault if it fails to write on the audit log (Ref: #668); * Not rejecting a larger request with ProcessPartial. Regression tests were also added (Ref: #597); * Fixed UF8 to unicode conversion. Regression tests were also added(Ref: #672); * Avoiding segmentation fault by checking if a structure is null before access its members; * Removed double charset-header that used happen due a hardcoded charset in Nginx implementation (Ref: #650); * Now alerting the users that there is no memory to proceed loading the configuration instead of just die; * If SecRuleEngine is set to Off and SecRequestBodyAccess On Nginx returns error 500. Standalone is now capable to identify whenever ModSecurity is enabled or disabled, independently of ModSecurity core (Ref: #645); * Fixed missing headers on Nginx whenever SecResponseBodyAccess was set to On and happens to be a filter on phase equals or over 3. (Ref #634); * IIS is now picking the correct version of AppCmd while uninstalling or installing ModSecurityISS. (Ref #632). 17 Dec 2013 - 2.7.7 ------------------- Fixes: - Changed release version to 2.7.7 - Got the configure scripts inside the release tarball 16 Dec 2013 - 2.7.6 ------------------- Improvements: - Organizes all Makefile.am - 1cde4d2dd9d96747536c1c25d06ba0677069477f Now using one file per line (sorted). This is the better way to handle it, since it reduces the possibility of merge conflicts. - nginx: generates config file using configure input. - 351b9cc357d439e30ebd61d89a9e38ecf55c6827 The nginx config file was looking for depedencies by its own, by doing that it was ignoring the options that were passed to configure script. This commit deletes this config file and adds a meta-config which is populated by configure whenever the standalone-module is enabled. - nginx: adds lua support - da16d9e5d51d4ef8734687514a4e1368e7fb4284 - iis: Cosmetics fixies on sqli. - 5046c8327ea21c69b4c0d0c0057c692b05b09fef This is needed to get it compiled with VS2011 on Windows8 - Regression tests: makes configuration compatible with 2.2 and 2.4 (try 2) - ae252ee8767069363906e5a611dff487b799b839 - nginx: Trying apxs and apxs2 while compiling nginx module - 65d9272fdc353e1263567b60604542d377d19672 - nginx: Trying apxs and apxs2 while compiling nginx module - 35fd75d859e4a8873b8843da1db13e04a1b08140 - macos: Using glibtoolize instead of libtoolize - 751a9f4e45213cd69f00c62c71edc9d7ad99b82d - regression-tests: makes configuration compatible with 2.2 and 2.4 - 6fc4cac37ab1be8d1232140042b58fe4bd93ee17 - Regression test: get it working with apache 2.4 - e9813cd0d9bfc5b0c9aa5832634ec1b39b805108 Changes in httpd.conf.in to get it working with apache 2.4 - Code cosmetics. - 7366f35c1d80772d739b35da8faa972f92a72b97 Changed to reduce the number of possible fails during Build Bot compilation. - iis: Waiting for 5 seconds before move curl directory - 9bf2959c919587ebc63f5a1b8c0785da8927bff5 Testing buildbot. - Redefines unixd_set_global_mutex_perms on tests - f70f6f4281b806627e0cf0dbb9c84ae5864bdb16 Avoding conflicts with the standalone implementation - Adds verbose quality check - 388943440cc9b8c6fdea09f5e365a2e5a3e792e2 Vera++ and ccpcheck are not outputing to the stderr instead stdout allowing the buildbot to extract some numbers about it. - Adds support for coding style and quality check - b77e90152d119609ac78a7028383c3b79898b2cf Initial effort to get the code on shape. This will be executed by the buildbots as soon as they get ready for it. - iis: New improvements on the Wix installer - 2ea5a74a7bfb00f21312e51e48aa6dac03d84600 * Now the installation is divided in modules: ModSecurity and CRS. * Added default configuration * Configuration was moved to "Program Files" folder * Build_msi script now using candle available in %PATH% - iis: Removes the installer helper dependency - 1a12648c9f6028f251af0f03c889397c7954b74c Now using appcmd directly with WiX instead of calling the installer helper. - iis: Remove readme.html - 550d5aae21cba696cac1ce75ab8113e5255d5a59 This HTML is about "Creating a Native Module for IIS7" not straight related to ModSecurity itself. - iis: Adds batch script to compile Wix - a2c5fc831baf0b324ebb66b0f878dacf1ec2f808 This batch script can be used to generate our msi installer. - iis: Adds Wix installer resources - 3604763e15a665eb7a6ecae1f7e7c65cebbb1d17 This is all about cosmetic changes. - iss: Removes Post-Build event. - 28bbde1bb218b004654cb865fc8563d69b848dc2 There was a copy on Post-Build event using a hard coded path. This patch removes this Post-Build event. - iis: Relative paths on the VS project file - 368617ddb2443f9b6036f80a648d467d07c9a054 There are a ModSecurityIIS solution and project files, those were using hard coded paths to meet the dependencies. As consequence of the last update in our build scripts, now we are able to built the dependencies and load it to our Visual Studio project using relative paths. - iis: Adds release script - 9477118903861ce80c4c27cb581bf3462315e98e - iis: fixies the Installer.cpp coding style - 79875b1af8e8571098345b91557bab9c06eb7c88 - iis: Removes AppWizard remade file - 91738f93bcc82b6ab756c550a66b6cf6af2fa9f8 Apparently the AppWizard was used to generate part of this Installer, the ReadMe.txt created by the AppWizard was removed by this commit - iss: Removes pre-compiled headers - adfbeb85dcfa9466b72eebb8d1bd8eb7728bab79 No need to use the pre-compiled headers in InstallerHelper, removing it, in order to keep the project lean. - iis: Moves installer to InstallerHelper - 6adf25667dd4bfa33010bd6d8ae3d35046a69967 To organize the folder the Installer application was renamed to installer helper.

Those modifications are not longer needed. - iss: Better err handling in build scripts. - 192599bf63b6ae5aa08e4536a90d5d0a17f969f7 Now checking for errors in every step of the build phase - iis: Moves build_module.bat to build_modsecurity.bat - e25c6b2e85ced7beba4d41867dbdf30e9c1286d3 The build_modsecurity.bat is now on the iis sub-directory, not in the dependencies anymore. Its content was also changed fixing all the paths. - iis: Identifies arch before unzip apache - cf5de78dfb9fffd21edf17af9e1db8f2fd83c804 Currently we need the Apache binary which could be used in 32 or 64 bits. This patch makes usage of 'cl' to identify which architecture is set. - iis: Renamves winbuild to dependencies - 1447766e816a896e88c9c8f053fcc3f62797bac1 Since the directory becomes all about dependencies there is no need to call it winbuild anymore. - iis: Removes unnecessary files from winbuild dir - 9f8cbf6ed8034ba42aa4967699308df09864fd18 Those .mak files seems to be part of an old build system. Since the script are now working fine, this commit removes all those .mac files and also a CMakeList.txt and the Makefile.win. - iis: Improves the iis build system - b277e538f28c87c81c1b50925dd8b82996b88294 Now checking for common errors while building.

This was making our implementation to just keep the last added Cookie. The apr_table_addn function, which is now used, just add a new item without check for olders one. - Merge pull request #579 from zimmerle/revert_139 - 61e54f2067ae760808359926ff91d57275df1aac Revert merge request #139 - Revert "Merge pull request #139 from chaizhenhua/remotes/trunk" - 7f7d00fa2c364716691df1b45779304b24a0debb This reverts commit 10fd40fb0d06f6c577d870b6f15d2f6e2a3a5b1b, reversing changes made to 414033aafa94cd50c9b310afd3f164740caccc94. - Merge pull request #578 from client9/remotes/trunk - b0c3977845f60747b15ae10531b7d20355a22627 libinjection sync to v3.8.0 - libinjection sync - a5f175d79fac1e69124da4e1e227b622e7e233d7 - Merge pull request #152 from client9/remotes/trunk - 88ebf8a0bdbc4db1be76f3a2e70df77cc52a5925 Sync to libinjection v3.7.1 - libinjection sync - fcb6dc13ed6efb066fb9b70405eecab8b83a2d96 - libinjection sync - f52242a013f301ca5c17e59b662124833cb7cc6d - Merge pull request #148 from zimmerle/bugfix_charset_missing_string_terminator - b76e26d81ddafc2b99bffad53d1426f8fd33080a Bugfix: missing string terminator while mounting the charset (nginx) - Bugfix: missing string terminator while mounting the charset (nginx) - ff19dcd5c53d4af61d0a9397d4616f47f80ee207 The charset in headers is mounted using ngx_snprintf which does not place the string terminator.

Please see the ModSecurity Jira for more details 19 Mar 2010 - trunk ------------------- * Added SecDisableBackendCompression, which disabled backend compression while keeping the frontend compression enabled (assuming mod_deflate in installed and configured in the proxy). [Ivan Ristic] * Added REQUEST_BODY_LENGTH, which contains the number of request body bytes read. [Ivan Ristic] * Integrate with mod_log_config using the %{VARNAME}M format string. (MODSEC-108) [Ivan Ristic] * Replaced the previous time-measuring mechanism with a new one, which provides the following information: request time, request duration, phase duration (for all 5 phases), time spent dealing with persistent storage, and time spent on audit logging. The new information is now available in the Stopwatch2 audit log header. The Stopwatch header remains for backward compatiblity, although it now only includes the request time and request duration values. Added the following variables: PERF_COMBINED, PERF_PHASE1, PERF_PHASE2, PERF_PHASE3, PERF_PHASE4, PERF_PHASE5, PERF_SREAD, PERF_SWRITE, PERF_LOGGING, PERF_GC. [Ivan Ristic] * Added DURATION, which contains the time ellapsed since the beginning of the current transaction, in milliseconds. [Ivan Ristic] * Adjusted phase 5 to execute just prior to mod_log_config. This should allow phase 5 rules to to implement conditional logging, as well as pave support for allowing access to all ModSecurity variables from mog_log_config. [Ivan Ristic] * Added the URLENCODED_ERROR flag, which is raised whenever invalid URL encoding is encountered in the query string or in the request body (but only if URLENCODED request body processor is used). (MODSEC-111) [Ivan Ristic] * Removed the obsolete PDF UXSS functionality. (MODSEC-96) [Ivan Ristic] * Renamed normalisePath to normalizePath and normalisePathWin to normalizePathWin. Kept the previous names for backward compatibility. (MODSEC-103) [Ivan Ristic] * Moved phase 1 to be run in the same Apache hook as phase 2. This means that you can now have phase 1 rules in <Location> tags and, more importantly, override server configuration in <Location> and others. (MODSEC-98) [Ivan Ristic] * Renamed the sanitise family of actions to sanitize. Kept the old variants for backward compatibility. (MODSEC-95) [Ivan Ristic] * Improve the logging of the ctl action. (MODSEC-99) [Ivan Ristic] * Cleanup build files that were from the Apache source. 14 Feb 2010 - 2.5.13-dev1 ------------------------- * Cleaned up some mlogc code and debugging output. * Remove the ability to use a relative path to a piped audit logger (i.e. mlogc) as Apache does not support it in their piped loggers and it was breaking Windows and probably other platforms that use spaces in filesystem paths. Discovered by Tom Donovan. * Fix memory leak freeing regex. Discovered by Tom Donovan. * Fix some portability issues on Windows. 04 Feb 2010 - 2.5.12 -------------------- * Fixed SecUploadFileMode to set the correct mode. * Fixed nolog,auditlog/noauditlog/nolog controls for disruptive actions. * Added additional file info definitions introduced in APR 0.9.5 so that build will work with older APRs (IBM HTTP Server v6). * Added SecUploadFileLimit to limit the number of uploaded file parts that will be processed in a multipart POST. The default is 100. * Fixed path normalization to better handle backreferences that extend above root directories. Reported by Sogeti/ESEC R&D. * Trim whitespace around phrases used with @pmFromFile and allow for both LF and CRLF terminated lines. * Allow for more robust parsing for multipart header folding. Reported by Sogeti/ESEC R&D. * Fixed failure to match internally set TX variables with regex (TX:/.../) syntax. * Fixed failure to log full internal TX variable names and populate MATCHED_VAR* vars. * Enabled PCRE "studying" by default. This is now a configure-time option. * Added PCRE match limits (SecPcreMatchLimit/SecPcreMatchLimitRecursion) to aide in REDoS type attacks. A rule that goes over the limits will set TX:MSC_PCRE_LIMITS_EXCEEDED. It is intended that the next major release of ModSecurity (2.6.x) will move these flags to a dedicated collection. * Reduced default PCRE match limits reducing impact of REDoS on poorly written regex rules. Reported by Sogeti/ESEC R&D. * Fixed memory leak in v1 cookie parser. Reported by Sogeti/ESEC R&D. * Now support macro expansion in numeric operators (@eq, @ge, @lt, etc.) * Update copyright to 2010. * Reserved 700,000-799,999 IDs for Ivan Ristic. * Fixed SecAction not working when CONNECT request method is used (MODSEC-110). [Ivan Ristic] * Do not escape quotes in macro resolution and only escape NUL in setenv values. 04 Nov 2009 - 2.5.11 -------------------- * Added a new multipart flag, MULTIPART_INVALID_QUOTING, which will be set true if any invalid quoting is found during multipart parsing. * Fixed parsing quoted strings in multipart Content-Disposition headers. Discovered by Stefan Esser. * Cleanup persistence database locking code. * Added warning during configure if libcurl is found linked against gnutls for SSL. The openssl lib is recommended as gnutls has proven to cause issues with mutexes and may crash. * Cleanup some mlogc (over)logging. * Do not log output filter errors in the error log. * Moved output filter to run before other stock filters (mod_deflate, mod_cache, mod_expires, mod_filter) to avoid analyzing modified data in the response. Patch originally submitted by Ivan Ristic. 18 Sep 2009 - 2.5.10 -------------------- * Cleanup mlogc so that it builds on Windows. * Added more detailed messages to replace "Unknown error" in filters. * Added SecAuditLogDirMode and SecAuditLogFileMode to allow fine tuning auditlog permissions (especially with mpm-itk). * Cleanup SecUploadFileMode implementation. * Cleanup build scripts. * Fixed crash on configuration if SecMarker is used before any rules. * Fixed SecRuleUpdateActionById so that it will work on chain starters. * Cleanup build system for mlogc. * Allow mlogc to periodically flush memory pools. * Using nolog,auditlog will now log the "Message:" line to the auditlog, but nothing to the error log. Prior versions dropped the "Message:" line from both logs. To do this now, just use "nolog" or "nolog,noauditlog". * Forced mlogc to use SSLv3 to avoid some potential auto negotiation issues with some libcurl versions. * Fixed mlogc issue seen on big endian machines where content type could be listed as zero. * Removed extra newline from audit log message line when logging XML errors. This was causing problems parsing audit logs. * Fixed @pm/@pmFromFile case insensitivity. * Truncate long parameters in log message for "Match of ... against ... required" messages. * Correctly resolve chained rule actions in logs. * Cleanup some code for portability. * AIX does not support hidden visibility with xlc compiler. * Allow specifying EXTRA_CFLAGS during configure to override gcc specific values for non-gcc compilers. * Populate GEO:COUNTRY_NAME and GEO:COUNTRY_CONTINENT as documented. * Handle a newer geo database more gracefully, avoiding a potential crash for new countries that ModSecurity is not yet aware. * Allow checking &GEO "@eq 0" for a failed @geoLookup. * Fixed mlogc global mutex locking issue and added more debugging output. * Cleaned up build dependencies and configure options. 05 Mar 2009 - 2.5.9 ------------------- * Fixed parsing multipart content with a missing part header name which would crash Apache. Discovered by "Internet Security Auditors" (isecauditors.com). * Added ability to specify the config script directly using --with-apr and --with-apu. * Updated copyright year to 2009. * Added macro expansion for append/prepend action. * Fixed race condition in concurrent updates of persistent counters. Updates are now atomic. * Cleaned up build, adding an option for verbose configure output and making the mlogc build more portable. 21 Nov 2008 - 2.5.8 ------------------- * Fixed PDF XSS issue where a non-GET request for a PDF file would crash the Apache httpd process. Discovered by Steve Grubb at Red Hat. * Removed an invalid "Internal error: Issuing "%s" for unspecified error." message that was logged when denying with nolog/noauditlog set and causing the request to be audited. 24 Sep 2008 - 2.5.7 ------------------- * Fixed XML DTD/Schema validation which will now fail after request body processing errors, even if the XML parser returns a document tree. * Added ctl:forceRequestBodyVariable=on|off which, when enabled, will force the REQUEST_BODY variable to be set when a request body processor is not set. Previously the REQUEST_BODY target was only populated by the URLENCODED request body processor. * Integrated mlogc source. * Fixed logging the hostname in the error_log which was logging the request hostname instead of the Apache resolved hostname. * Allow for disabling request body limit checks in phase:1. * Added transformations for processing parity for legacy protocols ported to HTTP(S): t:parityEven7bit, t:parityOdd7bit, t:parityZero7bit * Added t:cssDecode transformation to decode CSS escapes. * Now log XML parsing/validation warnings and errors to be in the debug log at levels 3 and 4, respectivly. 31 Jul 2008 - 2.5.6 ------------------- * Transformation caching has been deprecated, and is now off by default. We now advise against using transformation caching in production. * Fixed two separate transformation caching issues that could cause incorrect content inspection in some circumstances. * Fixed an issue with the transformation cache using too much RAM, potentially crashing Apache with a large number of cache entries. Two new configuration options have been added to allow for a finer control of caching: maxitems: Max number of items to cache (default 1024) incremental: Whether to cache incrementally (default off) * Added an experimental regression testing suite. The regression suite may be executed via "make test-regression", however it is strongly advised to only be executed on a non-production machine as it will startup the Apache web server that ModSecurity is compiled against with various configurations in which it will run tests. * Added a licensing exception so that ModSecurity can be used in a derivative work when that derivative is also under an approved open source license. * Updated mlogc to version 1.4.5 which adds a LockFile directive and fixes an issue in which the configuration file may be deleted. 05 Jun 2008 - 2.5.5 ------------------- * Fixed an issue where an alert was not logged in the error log unless "auditlog" was used. * Enable the "auditlog" action by default to help prevent a misconfiguration. The new default is now: "phase:2,log,auditlog,pass" * Improve request body processing error messages. * Handle lack of a new line after the final boundary in a multipart request. This fixes the reported WordPress Flash file uploader problem. * Fixed issue with multithreaded servers where concurrent XML processing could crash the web server (at least under Windows). * Fixed blocking in phase 3. * Force modules "mod_rpaf-2.0.c" and "mod_custom_header.c" to run before ModSecurity so that the correct IP is used. 07 May 2008 - 2.5.4 ------------------- * Fixed issue where transformation cache was using the SecDefaultAction value even when t:none was used within a rule. 24 Apr 2008 - 2.5.3 ------------------- * Fixed issue where the exec action may not be able to execute shell scripts. * Macros are now expanded in expirevar and deprecatevar. * Fixed crash if a persistent variable name was more than 126 characters. * Updated included Core Ruleset to version 1.6.1 which fixes some false negative issues in the migration to using some 2.5 features. 02 Apr 2008 - 2.5.2 ------------------- * Allow HTTP_* targets as an alias for REQUEST_HEADERS:*. * Make sure temporary filehandles are closed after a transaction. * Make sure the apache include directory is included during build. 02 Apr 2008 - 2.1.7 ------------------- * Make sure temporary filehandles are closed after a transaction. 14 Mar 2008 - 2.5.1 ------------------- * Fixed an issue where a match would not occur if transformation caching was enabled. * Using "severity" in a default action is now just a warning. * Cleaned up the "make test" target to better locate headers/libraries. * Now search /usr/lib64 and /usr/lib32 for lua libs. * No longer treat warnings as errors by default (use --enable-strict-compile). 19 Feb 2008 - 2.5.0 ------------------- * Updated included Core Ruleset to version 1.6.0 which uses 2.5 features. * Cleaned up and clarified some documentation. * Updated code to be more portable so it builds with MS VC++. * Added unit tests for most operators and transformations. * Fixed crash on startup when ENV is improperly used without a parameter. * Allow macro resolution in setenv action. * The default action is now a minimal "phase:2,log,pass" with no default transformations performed. * Implemented SecUploadFileMode to allow setting the mode for uploaded files. * Implemented "block" action. * Implemented SecRuleUpdateActionById. * Fixed removal of phase 5 rules via SecRuleRemoveBy* directives. * No longer log the query portion of the URI in the error log as it may contain sensitive data. * Build is now 'configure' based: ./configure && make && make install * Added support for Lua scripting in the following ways: SecRuleScript can be used to specify a script to execute as a rule, the exec action processes Lua scripts internally, as does the @inspectFile operator. Refer to the documentation for more details. * Changed how allow works. Used on its own it now allows phases 1-4. Used with parameter "phase" (e.g. SecAction allow:phase) it only affects the current phase. Used with parameter "request" it allows phases 1-2. * Fixed issue where only the first phase 5 rule would run when the request was intercepted in an earlier phase. * Stricter configuration parsing. Disruptive actions, meta actions and phases are no longer allowed in a chained rule. Disruptive actions, are no longer allowed in a logging phase (phase 5) rule, including inheriting from SecDefaultAction. * More efficient collection persistance. * Fixed t:escapeSeqDecode to better follow ANSI C escapes. * Added t:jsDecode to decode JavScript escape sequences. * Added IS_NEW built-in collection variables. * New audit log part 'K' logs all matching rules. * Implemented SecRequestBodyNoFilesLimit. * Enhance handling of the case where we run out of disk space while writing to audit log entry. * Added SecComponentSignature to allow other components the ability to append to the logged signature. * Added skipAfter:<id> action to allow skipping all rules until a rule with a specified ID is reached. Rule execution then continues after the specified rule. * Added SecMarker <id> directive to allow a fixed target for skipAfter. * Added ctl:ruleRemoveById action to allow rule removal on a match. * Added a @containsWord operator that will match a given string anywhere in the target value, but only on word boundaries. * Added a MATCHED_VAR_NAME variable to store the last matched variable name so that it can be more easily used by rules. * Added a MATCHED_VAR variable to store the last matched variable value so that it can be more easily used by rules. * Fixed expansion of macros when using relative changes with setvar. In addition, added support for expanding macros in the variable name. * Situations where ModSecurity will intercept, generate an error or log a level 1-3 message to the debug log are now marked as 'relevant' and may generate an audit log entry. * Fixed deprecatevar:var=N/S action so that it decrements N every S seconds as documented instead of decrementing by a rate. * Enable ModSecurity to look at partial response bodies. In previous versions, ModSecurity would respond with status code 500 when the response body was too long. Now, if SecResponseBodyLimitAction is set to "ProcessPartial", it will process the part of the response body received up until that point but send the rest without buffering. * ModSecurity will now process phases 3 and 4 even when request processing is interrupted (either by Apache - e.g. by responding with 400, 401 or 403, or by ModSecurity itself). * Fixed the base64decode transformation function to not return extra characters at the end. * Return from the output filter with an error in addition to setting up the HTTP error status in the output data. * Used new Apache API calls to get the server version/banner when available. * Added "logdata" meta action to allow logging of raw transaction data. * Added TX_SEVERITY that keeps track of the highest severity for any matched rules so far. * Added ARGS_GET, ARGS_POST, ARGS_GET_NAMES, ARGS_POST_NAMES variables to allow seperation of GET and POST arguments. * Added an Apache define (MODSEC_2.5) so that you can conditionally include directives based on the ModSecurity major/minor versions with IfDefine. * Added MODSEC_BUILD variable that contains the numeric build value based on the ModSecurity version. * Enhanced debug logging by displaying more data on rule execution. All invoked rules are now logged in the debug log at level 5. * Stricter validation for @validateUtf8Encoding. * No longer process Apache internal subrequests. * Fixed warnings on Solaris and/or 64bit builds. * Added @within string comparison operator with support for macro expansion. * Do not trigger "pause" action for internal requests. * Added matching rule filename and line number to audit log. * Added new phrase matching operators, @pm and @pmFromFile. These use an alternate set based matching engine (Aho-Corasick) to perform faster phrase type matches such as black/white lists, spam keywords, etc. * Allow caching transformations per-request/phase so they are not repeated. * Added Solaris and Cygwin to the list of platforms not supporting the hidden visibility attribute. * Fixed decoding full-width unicode in t:urlDecodeUni. * Add SecGeoLookupDB, @geoLookups and GEO collection to support geographical lookups by IP/host. * Do not try to intercept a request after a failed rule. This fixes the issue associated with an "Internal Error: Asked to intercept request but was_intercepted is zero" error message. * Removed extraneous exported symbols. * Merged the PDF XSS protection functionality into ModSecurity. * Exported API for registering custom variables. Example in api directory. * Added experimental support for content injection. Directive SecContentInjection (On|Off) controls whether injection is taking place. Actions "prepend" and "append" inject content when executed. Do note that it is your responsibility to make sure the response is of the appropriate content type (e.g. HTML, plain text, etc). * Added string comparison operators with support for macro expansion: @contains, @streq, @beginsWith and @endsWith. * Enhanced debug log output to log macro expansion, quote values and correctly display values that contained NULs. * Removed support for %0 - %9 capture macros as they were incorrectly expanding url encoded values. Use %{TX.0} - %{TX.9} instead. * Added t:length to transform a value to its character length. * Added t:trimLeft, t:trimRight, t:trim to remove whitespace from a value on the left, right or both. * Added SecAuditLog2 directive to allow redundent concurrent audit log index files. This will allow sending audit data to two consoles, etc. * Removed CGI style HTTP_* variables in favor of REQUEST_HEADERS:Header-Name. * Store filename/line for each rule and display it and the ID (if available) in the debug log when invoking a rule. Thanks to Christian Bockermann for the idea. * Do not log 'allow' action as intercepted in the debug log. * Fixed some collection variable names not printing with the parameter and/or counting operator in the debug log. 19 Feb 2008 - 2.1.6 ------------------- * Fixed crash on startup when ENV is improperly used without a parameter. * Allow macro resolution in setenv action. * Implemented SecUploadFileMode to allow setting the mode for uploaded files. * No longer log the query portion of the URI in the error log as it may contain sensitive data. 10 Jan 2008 - 2.1.5 ------------------- * Updated included Core Ruleset to version 1.5.1. * Phase 5 rules can now be removed via SecRuleRemoveBy* directives. * Fixed issue where only the first phase 5 rule would run when the request was intercepted in an earlier phase. * Fixed configuration parsing so that disruptive actions, meta actions and phases are not allowed in a chained rule (as originally intended). * Fixed t:escapeSeqDecode to better follow ANSI C escapes. 27 Nov 2007 - 2.1.4 ------------------- * Updated included Core Ruleset to version 1.5 and noted in the docs that XML support is required to use the rules without modification. * Fixed an evasion FP, mistaking a multipart non-boundary for a boundary. * Fixed multiple warnings on Solaris and/or 64bit builds. * Do not process subrequests in phase 2-4, but do hand off the request data. * Fixed a blocking FP in the multipart parser, which affected Safari. 11 Sep 2007 - 2.1.3 ------------------- * Updated multipart parsing code adding variables to allow checking for various parsing issues (request body abnormalities). * Allow mod_rpaf and mod_extract_forwarded2 to work before ModSecurity. * Quiet some compiler warnings. * Do not block internal ErrorDocument requests after blocking request. * Added ability to compile without an external API (use -DNO_MODSEC_API). 27 Jul 2007 - 2.1.2 ------------------- * Cleaned up and clarified some documentation. * Update included core rules to latest version (1.4.3). * Enhanced ability to alert/audit failed requests. * Do not trigger "pause" action for internal requests. * Fixed issue with requests that use internal requests. These had the potential to be intercepted incorrectly when other Apache httpd modules that used internal requests were used with mod_security. * Added Solaris and Cygwin to the list of platforms not supporting the hidden visibility attribute. * Fixed decoding full-width unicode in t:urlDecodeUni. * Lessen some overhead of debugging messages and calculations. * Do not try to intercept a request after a failed rule. This fixes the issue associated with an "Internal Error: Asked to intercept request but was_intercepted is zero" error message. * Added SecAuditLog2 directive to allow redundent concurrent audit log index files. This will allow sending audit data to two consoles, etc. * Small performance improvement in memory management for rule execution. 11 Apr 2007 - 2.1.1 ------------------- * Add the PCRE_DOLLAR_ENDONLY option when compiling regular expression for the @rx operator and variables. * Really set PCRE_DOTALL option when compiling the regular expression for the @rx operator as the docs state. * Fixed potential memory corruption when expanding macros. * Fixed error when a collection was retrieved from storage in the same second as creation by setting the rate to zero. * Fixed ASCIIZ (NUL) parsing for application/x-www-form-urlencoded forms. * Fixed the faulty REQUEST_FILENAME variable, which used to change the internal Apache structures by mistake. * Updates to quiet some compiler warnings. * Fixed some casting issues for compiling on NetWare (patch from Guenter Knauf). 23 Feb 2007 - 2.1.0 ------------------- * Removed the "Connection reset by peer" message, which has nothing to do with us. Actually the message was downgraded from ERROR to NOTICE so it will still appear in the debug log. * Removed the (harmless) message mentioning LAST_UPDATE_TIME missing. * It was not possible to remove a rule placed in phase 4 using SecRuleRemoveById or SecRuleRemoveByMsg. Fixed. * Fixed a problem with incorrectly setting requestBodyProcessor using the ctl action. * Bundled Core Rules 2.1-1.3.2b4. * Updates to the reference manual. * Reversed the return values of @validateDTD and @validateSchema, to make them consistent with other operators. * Added a few helpful debug messages in the XML validation area. * Updates to the reference manual. * Fixed the validateByteRange operator. * Default value for the status action is now 403 (as it was supposed to be but it was effectively 500). * Rule exceptions (removing using an ID range or an regular expression) is now applied to the current context too. (Previously it only worked on rules that are inherited from the parent context.) * Fix of a bug with expired variables. * Fixed regular expression variable selectors for many collections. * Performance improvements - up to two times for real-life work loads! * Memory consumption improvements (not measured but significant). * The allow action did not work in phases 3 and 4. Fixed. * Unlocked collections GLOBAL and RESOURCE. * Added support for variable expansion in the msg action. * New feature: It is now possible to make relative changes to the audit log parts with the ctl action. For example: "ctl:auditLogParts=+E". * New feature: "tag" action. To be used for event categorisation. * XML parser was not reporting errors that occured at the end of XML payload. * Files were not extracted from request if SecUploadKeepFiles was Off. Fixed. * Regular expressions that are too long are truncated to 256 characters before used in error messages. (In order to keep the error messages in the log at a reasonable size.) * Fixed the sha1 transformation function. * Fixed the skip action. * Fixed REQUEST_PROTOCOL, REMOTE_USER, and AUTH_TYPE. * SecRuleEngine did not work in child configuration contexts (e.g. <Location>). * Fixed base64Decode and base64Encode. 15 Nov 2006 - 2.0.4 ------------------- * Fixed the "deprecatevar" action. * Decreasing variable values did not work. * Made "nolog" do what it is supposed to do - cause a rule match to not be logged. Also "nolog" now implies "noauditlog" but it's possible to follow "nolog" with "auditlog" and have the match not logged to the error log but logged to the auditlog. (Not something that strikes me as useful but it's possible.) * Relative paths given to SecDataDir will now be treated as relative to the Apache server root. * Added checks to make sure only correct actions are specified in SecDefaultAction (some actions are required, some don't make any sense) and in rules that are not chain starters (same). This should make the unhelpful "Internal Error: Failed to add rule to the ruleset" message go away. * Fixed the problem when "SecRuleInheritance Off" is used in a context with no rules defined. * Fixed a problem of lost input (request body) data on some redirections, for example when mod_rewrite is used. 26 Oct 2006 - 2.0.3 ------------------- * Fixed a memory leak (all platforms) and a concurrency control problem that could cause a crash (multithreaded platforms only). * Fixed a SecAuditLogRelevantStatus problem, which would not work properly unless the regular expression contained a subexpression. 19 Oct 2006 - 2.0.2 ------------------- * Fixed incorrect permissions on the global mutex, which prevented the mutex from working properly. * Fixed incorrect actionset merging where the status was copied from the child actionset even though it was not defined. * Fixed missing metadata information (in the logs) for warnings. 16 Oct 2006 - 2.0.1 ------------------- * Rules that used operator negation did not work. Fixed. * Fixed bug that prevented invalid regular expressions from being reported. 16 Oct 2006 - 2.0.0 ------------------- * First stable 2.x release.
