Bug Description

The garbage collection function in Mod Security for Apache/2.7.7 dos not work correctly.

The database file "default_SESSION.pag" is growing so big, that it does not fits on the partition and Apache is getting slow (and after some time, it dos a lot of read actions, which causes a high IO-waiting time and a slow working machine).

It seems that there is already a fix in version 2.9.

Upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (that already contains version 2.9), is not yet an option (so we are using ESM)

https://issues.redhat.com/browse/JBCS-234?_sscc=t

Is it possible that version 2.9 will be available for 14.04 ESM?
