[Modsecurity] invalid regular expression in rules.conf

[Paulo Cunha]

Hello all,

I'm not sure if I'm the only one but the rules.conf file updated two
days ago (3rd of August?) doesn't work on my box with this error:

Syntax error on line 395 of /etc/modsecurity/rules.conf:
Invalid regular expression: \;\x20+?perl\x20+[A-Za-z|0-9]+;


I had to remove that line to make apache run.


Regarding the regex, could we be missing a \ before the last ; ?

Thanks,


paulo
