[users@httpd] Recent Apache DOS advisory - problem applying the SetEnvIf/ RequestHeader workaround.

2011-08-24 Thread Tom Sztur
so one of the mitigations for this advisory was: 1) Use SetEnvIf or mod_rewrite to detect a large number of ranges and then either ignore the Range: header or reject the request. Option 1: (Apache 2.0 and 2.2) # Drop the Range header when more than 5 ranges. # CVE-2011
