CWE-410Insufficient Resource Pool

The product's resource pool is not large enough to handle peak demand.

Availability,Integrity,Other→DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart,Other
An attacker can prevent others from accessing the resource by using a (relatively) large number of requests for resources using a "flood" of connection or sessions.

Architecture and Design
Do not perform resource-intensive transactions for unauthenticated users and/or invalid requests.
Architecture and Design
Consider implementing a velocity check mechanism which would detect abusive behavior.
Operation
Consider load balancing as an option to handle heavy loads.
Implementation
Make sure that resource handles are properly closed when no longer needed.
Architecture and Design
Identify the system's resource intensive operations and consider protecting them from abuse (e.g. malicious automated script which runs the resources out).
