Ciao davide,
Very nice , thanks for the submittal and thoughts regarding thisissue, all
of it is handy..
Only problem with these patches, unless you look at the advisory/and or
patch and see exactly what needs to be filteed, only then maybe can have a
really tough regex, wich btw would be VERY cool and handy.!
Good line of thinking anyhow. Props.

While waiting for an official patch, how about the following workaround?

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(HEAD|GET) [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Range} ([0-9]*-[0-9]*)(\s*,\s*[0-9]*-[0-9]*)+
RewriteRule .* - [F]


The workaround uses modrewrite to forbid get|head requests with multiple
ranges in the Range HTTP header.
The second regex could be improved but it works for the exploit released so
far...

Cheers,
 Davide.

Hello list,
oops looks like this bug has nothing to do with mod_deflate/mod_gzip,
read on here where the apache team is resolving the issue:

Works (too) well here. Are there any workarounds other than rate
limiting or detecting + dropping the traffic IPS-wise?
