Either should work. First with mod_access (as it is in 2.0)

<Location /_vti_bin/_vti_aut/author.exe>
 Deny from all
</Location>

.. or fancier ..

<LocationMatch ^/_vti_bin/_vti_(evil|regex)>
 Deny from all
</LocationMatch>

Or with mod_rewrite:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^trusted.host.pattern$
RewriteRule ^/_vti - [F]

This basically says, if the address looks like some frontpage nonsense
and the client isn't coming from a known address, don't change the URL
(the - part), and forbid [F] the request.

You can probably get fancier still with mod_security, where fancy
includes stuff like time based abuse escallation, and just about any
conceivable formula based on the request (including any entity bodies,
which mod_rewrite can't see).

Good luck.
