Web Server Misconfiguration: Request Throttling Not Enabled
Abstract
Server misconfiguration can leave the application vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
Explanation
Denial of service conditions can occur when:
1. A server incorrectly sets a limit on the number of threads per processor utilized for application execution
2. The server sets a limit on the number of requests processed at a time
1. A server incorrectly sets a limit on the number of threads per processor utilized for application execution
2. The server sets a limit on the number of requests processed at a time
