First published: Wed Apr 03 2013(Updated: )
It was reported that the XML files parser of ModSecurity, a security module for the Apache HTTP Server, was vulnerable to XML External Entity attacks. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted XML file that, when processed might lead to local files disclosure or, potentially, excessive resources (memory, CPU) consumption.
