Hi,
This one works like charm on my debian stable

LimitRequestFieldSize 200


in the apache2.conf as global directive for all vhosts.

Cheers,

Option 2: (Pre 2.2 and 1.3)

# Reject request when more than 5 ranges in the Range: header. #
CVE-2011-3192 # RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:range}
!(bytes=[^,]+(,[^,]+){0,4}$|^$) # RewriteCond %{HTTP:request-range}
!(bytes=[^,]+(?:,[^,]+){0,4}$|^$) RewriteRule .* - [F]
^^ Better use this:

RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:range} !(^bytes=[^,]+(,[^,]+){0,4}$|^$)
[NC,OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP:request-range} !(^bytes=[^,]+(,[^,]+){0,4}$|^$)
[NC] RewriteRule .* - [F]


in any case, i found very wierd behavior on some of our webservers. as we
applied the first version of workaround, something about 15% of our webpages
seems to be broken, but the rest of virtual hosts were working fine.

because of messing with Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch and
mod_rewrite i have to implement other workaround ..
