    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in modsecurity-apache, an Apache     module to tighten the Web application security, which may result in     denial of service (high memory consumption).

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in     version 2.9.7-1+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your modsecurity-apache packages.
