Mitigation Steps:
--------------
It is important to note that if you are running any of these web applications, you should do the following:

1) Check on the reference links for each vulnerability (SecurityFocus site, etc...) and verify if a patch is available. If one is, then proceed with implementing the patch ASAP.

2) Run a few tests to see if the example expoit code might be already captured by the current ModSecurity Core Rules files. There are already many different XSS/SQL Injection rules that probably would block the vast majority of these 2 categories of issues. If the Core Rules do not block these issues, then proceed to #3 (Virtual Patching).

3) Whether a patch is available or not, you should attempt to implement a ModSecurity "Virtual Patch" for the vulnerability. You can go about this in one of two ways -

First, the vulnerability information on SecurityFocus usually include an "exploit" tab for each vulnerability where exploit details/proof of concept code is often provided. You can take the example exploit code and then create a corresponding patch. The patch can either be a negative filter that blocks the underlying vulnerability vector. You can also, optionally, create a positive filter that will only allow acceptable character sets/lengths, etc...

Second, you can optionally head on over to the Snort.org site to see if they have released an IDS signatures for these vulnerabilities. If they have, you can then take the content/uricontent/pcre portions of the sigs and translate them into analagous ModSecurity rules.
