Hi Breno,

  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.
