Description jimyo.lin 2017-06-05 20:41:49 UTC
Request for a package that uses mod_security 2.9.x on EPEL 6 and 7

OWASP Core Rule Set 3.x requires mod_security 2.8.x or 2.9.x to run properly


Extra:
Willing to help maintain if needed

Comment 1 Othman Madjoudj 2017-06-05 22:33:12 UTC
mod_security is included in RHEL7 base so it cannot be provided as an EPEL package, I prefer to keep EPEL6 <= EPEL7 to prevent breaking upgrade path (rh update tool).

I've provided a COPR repo which tracks Fedora rawhide packages (usually latest mod_security / mod_security_crs)


https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/athmane/mod_security/


Version provided atm:

mod_security	2.9.1-1
mod_security_crs	3.0.0-4


NB. there's a known issue with httpd on EL7 which causes issues.

This message is a reminder that EPEL 6 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for EPEL 6 on 2020-11-30. It is our policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of 'el6'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later EPEL version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before EPEL 6 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

EPEL el6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-30. EPEL el6 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
EPEL please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
