The update introduces a new SecRequestBodyJsonDepthLimit option to limit the maximum request body JSON parsing depth which ModSecurity will accept (defaults to 10000).

For the oldstable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in version 2.9.3-1+deb10u1.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 2.9.3-3+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your modsecurity-apache packages.

For the detailed security status of modsecurity-apache please refer to its security tracker page at: [link moved to references]");
