Lighttpd: Slow HTTP POST Attack
http://www.darkreading.com/vulnerabi...532/index.html
I ran across the above article, which described a DoS attack in which requests are sent very slowly to the Web server. I'm running lighttpd 1.4.28 on a Gentoo Linux server, and I'm wondering if there is anything I could do in preparation to defend against such an attack.
A bug report <http://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/2147> seems to indicate that there was a patch in place already against this sort of attack, but I wanted to be sure that was the same thing and if there was anything else I needed to do. Thanks.
