Temporal Session Race Conditions

Exploiting Temporal Session Race Conditions via Connection Pool Consumption HD

Shay Chen · storage.googleapis.com · 14 September 2011

Shay Chen's deck shows how to exploit session race conditions that have no natural latency. Layer-targeted application DoS - RegEx DoS payloads, connection-pool exhaustion, expensive queries - stretches the window in which a premature session variable lives, making session puzzling against millisecond-lifespan variables reproducible.
