Hi, I'm using apache 1.27 with recent modssl. I'm not vulnerable to this bug.
But I see from time to time large scans, which have the symptoms of this worm. All my FreeBSD childs get used and are waiting in a queue and the server gets unresponsive for 5-6 mins. I set correctly limits: RLimitNPROC 25 RLimitMEM 40000000 RLimitCPU 5 But in this case, RLimitNPROC seems not to work :P I also tried mod_throttle, but it does also not help in this case because all connections are made at the same time and they timeout 180 seconds later.

Has someone a quick fix for this or a idea ?
