The proposal is to add the following text in section 7. (Security Considerations) of Part 5 [1] << 7.1 Range Flooding Range requests containing overlapping ranges may lead to the situation where a server is sending far more data than the size of the complete resource representation. This can generate Denial of Service attacks. >> There are multiple ways a server can reject (or ignore the Range: header) such requests, so no advice is given on how to process it.
