Rails 2.1.0: mod_security reports a Response Splitting Attack

#691

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hash: SHA1

I use the apache proxy to forward traffic to mongrel. The apache has

mod_security enabled and since I made an update to Rails 2.1.0

mod_security blocks access with the following message:

[24/Jul/2008:16:13:36 +0200]

[myhost/sid#988eef8][rid#a29a550][/myapp/][1] Access denied with code

400 (phase 2). Pattern match "%0[ad]" at REQUEST_HEADERS:Cookie. [id

"950910"] [msg "HTTP Response Spli

tting Attack. Matched signature <%0a>"] [severity "ALERT"]

I don't know what exactly is causing this. I am using

restful_authentication.
