Good. Do you have any idea when it will be available for users ?

The guy who discovered it want to write a blog post with details. So i ask
him to wait at least when we have some packages backported.

Thanks

Hi Breno,

  (Cc-ing Athmane on this due reasons which will get obvious below).

  thank you for checking with us.

AFAICT to fix this in Fedora and Fedora EPEL-6 versions, we have
just rebased to latest upstream 2.7.3 version. But you are truly
right (assuming this being the reason you are checking with us),
that on Fedora EPEL-5 we are shipping older (2.6.8 based version
of ModSecurity).

FWIHL:

Hi,

I forgot to mention in bug report that an EPEL5 update which still uses
2.6.8 release (libxml2 in el5 is too old) is scheduled with backborted
patch just like with CVE-2012-4528.

Thanks.
