For those using Snort, a local snort rule to alert for incoming attacks
might help while waiting for a patch.

example:

alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> any 80 (msg:"INBOUND Apache Killer script:
Local web server is under attack."; content:"Range:bytes=0-"; classtype:
denial-of-service; threshold: type threshold, track by_src, count 5 ,
seconds 20; sid:3000005;)
