mod_security <= 2.1.0 (ASCIIZ byte) POST Rules Bypass Vulnerability
Affected is mod_security <= 2.1.0 Detailed information
Detailed information
When mod_security receives a request it parses it into web application parameters in a way it believes is correct. Because the way it parses the incoming data follows the rules defined in RFCs and not the reality of how the HTTP request parsers are implemented in Perl, Python, Java, PHP there are a number of bypass vulnerabilities when the RFC and reality mismatch.
One of the these differences is the way ASCIIZ bytes are handled when they occur in POST data of the application/x-www-form-urlencoded content-type. Because mod_security handles POST data of this kind as a C string it does not touch anything behind the first ASCIIZ byte because in the eyes of mod_security this is the end of the data.
Unfortunately for mod_security this is not how the HTTP parsers of the different script languages handle this situation. Most script languages (Perl, Python, ...) just ignore the ASCIIZ byte and parse the data as if it is legal. Since PHP 5.2.0 this also applies to PHP. Proof of concept, exploit or instructions to reproduce
<?php if (isset($_POST['var']) echo($_POST['var']); ?>
Now call it with a command like
$ echo -e "&var=<script>alert(/xss/);</script>" > postdata $ curl http://localhost/test.php --data-binary @postdata -A HarmlessUserAgent <script>alert(/xss/);</script>
The example should not be blocked (because this is the default configuration) but in your error.log you will find a line saying that a possible XSS attack was detected.
Now try the same with a ASCIIZ byte embedded.
