Assessment Title
Rule Text
The Apache web server must restrict the ability of users to launch denial-of-service (DoS) attacks against other information systems or networks.
Description
Discussion Text
Apache web server can limit the ability of the web server being used in a DoS attack through several methods. The methods employed will depend upon the hosted applications and their resource needs for proper operation.
A DoS can occur when the Apache web server is so overwhelmed that it can no longer respond to additional requests. A web server not properly tuned may become overwhelmed and cause a DoS condition even with expected traffic from users.
To avoid a DoS, the Apache web server must be tuned to handle the expected traffic for the hosted applications.
