Quoting Olivier <olivier at ablinux.com>:

>> suhosin[2446]: ALERT - ASCII-NUL chars not allowed within request  
>> variables - dropped variable 'view' (attacker 'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX',  
>> file '.../services/ajax.php')

Still waiting for someone to tell me how a NULL character, by itself,  
is a security threat.

Maybe suhosin should also filter out j, a, v, s, c, r, i, p, and t  
characters because they can be used to create XSS attacks.
