Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in ModSecurity Affects Version 3.0.12

CVE-2024-46292

What is CVE-2024-46292?

ModSecurity version 3.0.12 is susceptible to a buffer overflow that enables attackers to initiate Denial of Service (DoS) conditions by inserting specially crafted input into the name parameter. While the supplier disputes these claims due to an inability to reproduce the issue, it is crucial to note that the product documentation suggests limitations when working with large values set for SecRequestBodyNoFilesLimit, potentially increasing the risk of exploitation.
