[Owasp-modsecurity-core-rule-set] Mitigation of Apache Range Header DoS Attack

[Ryan Barnett]

FYI - http://blog.spiderlabs.com/2011/08/mitigation-of-apache-range-header-dos-attack.html

If you are concerned about this attack, I suggest that you download the latest modsecurity_crs_20_protocol_violations.conf file from SVN as it has the new rules -
http://mod-security.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mod-security/crs/trunk/base_rules/modsecurity_crs_20_protocol_violations.conf
