CVE-2023-36478

Limiting concurrent sessions directly prevents uncontrolled resource consumption by capping the number of active sessions per user or account.

Analysis identifies uncontrolled resource consumption indicative of denial-of-service or abuse attempts.

Contingency plan testing includes resource exhaustion scenarios to verify recovery, making it harder for attackers to sustain exploits that cause uncontrolled consumption.

Updated contingency plans include current procedures to detect, contain, and recover from resource exhaustion, limiting an attacker's ability to sustain impact from uncontrolled consumption.

Alternate site allows resumption of operations if resource exhaustion at the primary site is exploited to cause unavailability.

Alternate telecommunications services enable resumption of essential functions when primary services become unavailable due to uncontrolled resource consumption.

The team can analyze and respond to resource exhaustion incidents, reducing the impact of attacks that exploit uncontrolled consumption weaknesses.

Timely maintenance support and spare parts enable rapid recovery from failures induced by uncontrolled resource consumption, shortening the impact window of denial-of-service attacks.

Secure SDLC practices directly require use of safe arithmetic, bounds checks, and testing that prevent integer overflows.

Pre-agreed severity-based prioritization and resource allocation during incident triage reduce the likelihood that an attacker-induced resource exhaustion will overwhelm the organization before corrective action is taken.
