Description Paramvir jindal 2020-06-04 10:01:08 UTC 
DoS attack is possible by sending twenty requests simultaneously to the specified keycloak server, all with a Content-Length header value that exceeds the actual byte count of the request body.

Mitigation:

- The possibility of this issue largely depends on the environment, specifically the load balancer or reverse proxies between the client and the server. The issue occurs when there is no load balancer in place.

- Proper tuning of HTTP request timeout and keycloak database max pool size can mitigate this issue :
bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect --commands='/subsystem=transactions:write-attribute(name=default-timeout,value=30),/subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/http-listener=default/:write-attribute(name=read-timeout,value=30000),/subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/https-listener=https/:write-attribute(name=read-timeout,value=30000),/subsystem=datasources/data-source=KeycloakDS/:write-attribute(name=max-pool-size,value=100),reload'
