## Description

Interpretation conflict in ModSecurity (mod\_security) 2.1.0 and earlier
allows remote attackers to bypass request rules via
application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST data that contains an ASCIIZ (0x00)
byte, which mod\_security treats as a terminator even though it is still
processed as normal data by some HTTP parsers including PHP 5.2.0, and
possibly parsers in Perl, and Python.
