Cookie was submitted

* Moved the comment spam data file into the optional_rules directory
== Version 2.1.0 - 2010-12-29 ==

help to make collections a bit more unique
== Version 2.0.10 - 2010-11-29 ==
Improvements:
* Commented out the Anomaly Scoring Blocking Mode TX variable since, by default, the CRS
is running in traditional mode.
Bug Fixes:

* Changed phases on several rules in the 20 protocol anomaly rules file to phase:1 to avoid FNs
== Version 2.0.9 - 2010-11-17 ==
Improvements:
* Changed the name of the main config file to modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf.example so that
it will not overwrite existing config settings. Users should rename this file to activate
it.
* Traditional detection mode is now the current default
* Users can now more easily toggle between traditional/standard mode vs. anomaly scoring mode
by editing the modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf file
* Updated the disruptive actions in most rules to use "block" action instead of "pass". This
is to allow for the toggling between traditional vs. anomaly scoring modes.

setting in the modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf file

data being echoed back to user unchanged.

== Version 2.0.5 - 2010-02-01 ==
Improvements:
* Removed previous 10 config files as they may conflict with local customized Mod configs.
* Added a new 10 config file that allows the user to globally set TX variables to turn on/off
PARANOID_MODE inspection, set anomaly score levels and http policies.
Must have ModSecurity 2.5.12 to use the macro expansion in numeric operators.
* Added Rule Logic and Reference links to rules descriptions.
* Added Rule IDs to all rules.
* Added tag data mapping to new OWASP Top 10 and AppSensor Projects, WASC Threat Classification

== Version 2.0.4 - 2009-11-30 ==
Improvements:
* Updated converted PHPIDS signatures (https://svn.php-ids.org/svn/trunk/lib/IDS/default_filter.xml)
* Updated PHPIDS rules logic to first search for payloads in ARGS and then if there is no match found
then search more generically in request_body|request_uri_raw
* Updated PHPIDS rules logic to only set TX variables and to not log. This allows for more clean
exceptions in the 48 file which can then expire/delete false positive TX matches and adjust the
anomaly scores. These rules will then inspect for any TX variables in phase:5 and create appropriate
alerts for any variable matches that exist.
Bug Fixes:
* Added Anomaly Score check to the 60 correlation file to recheck the anomaly score at the end of
phase:4 which would allow for blocking based on information leakage issues.

https://www.modsecurity.org/tracker/browse/CORERULES-9
== Version 2.0.0 - 2009-07-29 ==
New Rules & Features:
* Fine Grained Policy
The rules have been split to having one signature per rule instead of having
all signatures combined into one optimized regular expression.
This should allow you to modify/disable events based on specific patterns
instead of having to deal with the whole rule.
* Converted Snort Rules
Emerging Threat web attack rules have been converted.
http://www.emergingthreats.net/
* Anomaly Scoring Mode Option
The rules have been updated to include anomaly scoring variables which allow
you to evaluate the score at the end of phase:2 and phase:5 and decide on what
logging and disruptive actions to take based on the score.
* Correlated Events
There are rules in phase:5 that will provide some correlation between inbound
events and outbound events and will provide a result of successful atttack or
attempted attack.
* Updated Severity Ratings
The severity ratings in the rules have been updated to the following:
- 0: Emergency - is generated from correlation where there is an inbound attack and
an outbound leakage.
- 1: Alert - is generated from correlation where there is an inbound attack and an
outbound application level error.
- 2: Critical - is the highest severity level possible without correlation. It is
normally generated by the web attack rules (40 level files).
- 3: Error - is generated mostly from outbound leakabe rules (50 level files).
- 4: Warning - is generated by malicious client rules (35 level files).
- 5: Notice - is generated by the Protocol policy and anomaly files.
- 6: Info - is generated by the search engine clients (55 marketing file).
* Updated Comment SPAM Protections
Updated rules to include RBL lookups and client fingerprinting concepts from
Bad Behavior (www.bad-behavior.ioerror.us)
* Creation of Global Collection
Automatically create a Global collection in the *10* config file. Other rules
can then access it.
* Use of Block Action
Updated the rules to use the "block" action. This allows the Admin to globally
set the desired block action once with SecDefaultAction in the *10* config file
rather than having to edit the disruptive actions in all of the rules or for
the need to have multiple versions of the rules (blocking vs. non-blocking).
* "Possible HTTP Parameter Pollution Attack: Multiple Parameters with the same Name."
http://tacticalwebappsec.blogspot.com/2009/05/http-parameter-pollution.html
* Added new generic RFI detection rules.
http://tacticalwebappsec.blogspot.com/2009/06/generic-remote-file-inclusion-attack.html
* "Possibly malicious iframe tag in output" (Rules 981001,981002)
Planting invisible iframes in a site can be used by attackers to point users
from the victim site to their malicious site. This is actually as if the
user was visiting the attacker's site himself, causing the user's browser to
process the content in the attacker's site.
New Events:
* Rule 960019 - Expect Header Not Allowed.
* Rule 960020 - Pragma Header Requires Cache-Control Header
* Rule 958290 - Invalid Character in Request - Browsers should not send the (#) character
as it is reserved for use as a fragment identifier within the html page.
* Rule 958291 - Range: field exists and begins with 0.
* Rule 958292 - Invalid Request Header Found.
* Rule 958293 - Lowercase Via Request Header Found.
* Rule 958294 - Common SPAM Proxies found in Via Request Header.
* Rule 958295 - Multiple/Conflicting Connection Header Data Found.
* Rule 958296 - Request Indicates a SPAM client accessed the Site.
* Rule 958297 - Common SPAM/Email Harvester crawler.
* Rule 958298 - Common SPAM/Email Harvester crawler
Bug Fixes:
* Rule 950107 - Split the rule into 2 separate rules to factor in the
Content-Type when inspecting the REQUEST_BODY variable.
* Rule 960017 - Bug fix for when having port in the host header.
* Rule 960014 - Bug fix to correlate the SERVER_NAME variable.
* Rule 950801 - Increased the logic so that the rule will only run if the web site
uses UTF-8 Encoding.
* Rules 999210,999211 - Bug fix to move ctl actions to last rule, add OPTIONS and
allow the IPv6 loopback address
* Rule 950117 - Updated the RFI logic to factor in both a trailing "?" in the ARG
and to identify offsite hosts by comparing the ARG URI to the Host
header. Due to this rule now being stronger, moved it from optional
tight security rule to *40* generic attacks file.
Other Fixes:
* Added more HTTP Protocol violations to *20* file.
* Set the SecDefaultAction in the *10* config file to log/pass (This was the
default setting, however this sets it explicitly.
* Added SecResponseBodyLimitAction ProcessPartial to the *10* config file. This
was added so that when running the SecRuleEngine in DetectionOnly mode, it will
not deny response bodies that go over the size restrictions.
