Hi @p0pr0ck5,
Thanks for an interesting point of view.
I don't agree with this. I think this helps to prevent buffer overflow attacks from occurring by setting buffer size limitations for clients. Also please see OWASP Secure Configuration Guide.
Also Acunetix say:
Buffer overflow attacks are made possible by writing data to a buffer and exceeding that buffers’ boundary and overwriting memory fragments of a process. To prevent this in nginx we can set buffer size limitations for all clients. This can be done through the Nginx configuration file using the following directives.
You may know other ways to protect from "Buffer Overflow"?
