Oracle WebLogic must protect against or limit the effects of HTTP types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Employing increased capacity and bandwidth combined with service redundancy can reduce the susceptibility to some DoS attacks. When utilizing an application server in a high risk environment (such as a DMZ), the amount of access to the system from various sources usually increases, as does the system's risk of becoming more susceptible to DoS attacks. The application server must be able to be configured to withstand or minimize the risk of DoS attacks. This can be partially achieved if the application server provides configuration options that limit the number of allowed concurrent HTTP connections.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
