OLS 1.8.2 upgrade std::length_error + breaks mod_security

@airween
Thank you for your patience. We were initially looking in the wrong direction. After compiling the module on different servers, we found that the "std::length_error" issue has been resolved after upgrading the build server environment to a newer version of GCC. It seems the new ModSecurity library has a minimum required gcc version.
We will test it more and publish a new release. Thanks to everyone.

Vow, thanks!

Could you provide some information about your GCC versions? I mean what was the "old" version and what's the "minimal expected" version? I should update our Wiki pages.

Btw I'm the maintainer of https://modsecurity.digitalwave.hu non-official repository, where we provide the related packages for Ubuntu 20.04 (I think that's the oldest supported system), and there wasn't any problem.

Based on our testing, GCC versions 7 or earlier may encounter the issue mentioned above.

Thanks!

Could we share this information in a blog post on https://modsecurity.org? Perhaps it could be instructive for other users.

For sure.
