Google the following:

tomcat 7 slow loris mitigation

There are several discussions on how to mitigate this.

Bugzilla entry for Tomcat 6.0.36:

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54263

Redhat:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2007-6750

It looks like suitably a suitably configured firewall or
mod_reqtimeout

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_reqtimeout.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_reqtimeout.html

are the available solutions.

. . . just my two cents
