Thanks for the reminder Ville.

Ivan (Ristic, ModSecurity author) hasn't released an update for the 1.9.x branch
as yet to fix this, but does have a rule for 2.x and up that mitigates the issue
pending a full release of 2.1.1 (and I would assume a 1.9.5 version)

>From http://www.modsecurity.org/blog/archives/2007/03/modsecurity_asc.html:

SecRule REQUEST_BODY "@validateByteRange 1-255" \
"log,deny,phase:2,t:none,msg:'ModSecurity ASCIIZ Evasion Attempt'

I'm going to run up a local package of ModSecurity 2.1.0 (+Core Rules and the
above as a "local" rule) this morning and try this on my own site
(www.enlartenment.com) prior to adding it to Extras (should it work out OK).

I've been meaning to update the version for a while but time constraints got the
better of me. Be warned however that the configuration and rule syntax has
changed since 1.9.x (admins are going to have to make some manual changes if
they've got local additions) but on the upside it's 200% faster and the rule
syntax allows for more flexibility.

If there's any objections by all means let me know and I'll hold off until a
proper 1.9.x fix is available.
