- Fix CVE-2021-42717: ModSecurity 3.x through 3.0.5 mishandles
excessively nested JSON objects. Crafted JSON objects with nesting
tens-of-thousands deep could result in the web server being unable to
service legitimate requests. Even a moderately large (e.g., 300KB)
HTTP request can occupy one of the limited NGINX worker processes for
minutes and consume almost all of the available CPU on the machine.
Modsecurity 2 is similarly vulnerable: the affected versions include
2.8.0 through 2.9.4.
- Use official tarball and so drop autoreconf
