Subject: [mod-security-users] OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set 3.1.1 released

The OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set team is pleased to announce the CRS
release v3.1.1.

This is a minor release fixing a Regular Expression Denial of Service weakness
(CVE-2019-11387) as well as some minor bugs and false positives.

The CVE is only affecting users of the libModSecurity 3 release line and only
under special circumstances. However, we advise all users to upgrade to this
latest stable CRS release.

We have been notified of 5 ReDoS problems in our rules in April. Upon closer
inspection, only 1 of them proved real (the others were found in the naked
regular expression, not taking payload transformation and protection
mechanisms of the engine into consideration). Once this was established, we
had to fix the regex without changing the detection capabilities of the
affected rules. And this is what took us so long.

But here we are. This is replacement for 3.1.0 with almost identical behavior
(minus the ReDoS and a few other fixes). As always with point releases, there
are no new rules and an update should thus be smooth and should not bring any
new false positives.

CRS 3.1 requires an Apache/IIS/NGINX web server with ModSecurity 2.8.0 or
higher. CRS 3.1 will run on libModSecurity 3.0 on NGINX.

Our GitHub repository is the preferred way to download and update CRS:

$> wget
https://github.com/SpiderLabs/owasp-modsecurity-crs/archive/v3.1.1.tar.gz

For detailed installation instructions, see the INSTALL document.
https://github.com/SpiderLabs/owasp-modsecurity-crs/blob/v3.1/dev/INSTALL

Sincerely.

Chaim Sanders, Walter Hop and Christian Folini on behalf of the OWASP
ModSecurity Core Rule Set development team
