+  <background>
+    <p>
+    mod_security is an Apache module designed for enhancing the security of
+    the Apache web server.
+    </p>

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Stefan Esser discovered that mod_security processes NULL characters as
+    terminators in POST requests using the
+    application/x-www-form-urlencoded encoding type, while other parsers
+    used in web applications do not.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="low">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could send a specially crafted POST request, possibly
+    bypassing the module ruleset and leading to the execution of arbitrary
+    code in the scope of the web server with the rights of the user running
+    the web server.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All mod_security users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-apache/mod_security-2.1.1"</code>
