Detecting and Exploiting Second Order Denial-of-Service Vulnerabilities in Web Applications
Second-order DoS: the attacker first seeds a database with many cheap junk rows, then sends one request whose cost grows with those rows, exhausting server CPU on very little bandwidth. A static analysis tool, Torpedo, pairs two taint analyses with symbolic execution to find such flaws and generate attack inputs, reporting 37 in six widely used PHP applications.
