Updated apache-mod_security package fixes security vulnerability:

Qualys Vulnerability & Malware Research Labs discovered a
vulnerability in ModSecurity, a security module for the Apache webserver.
In situations where both "Content:Disposition: attachment" and
"Content-Type: multipart" were present in HTTP headers, the vulnerability
could allow an attacker to bypass policy and execute cross-site script
(XSS) attacks through properly crafted HTML documents (CVE-2012-2751).
