[GitHub] trafficserver issue #1237: Slowloris vulnerability

    Slowloris vulnerability

    Traffic server is "likely vulnerable" to slowloris (see https://nmap.org/nsedoc/scripts/http-slowloris-check.html) in both reverse and forward proxy mode.
    
    Has anyone investigated this yet? Is there any plan to do anything about it? I appreciate the nature of the vulnerability means fully fixing it is likely impossible, I'm just trying to find out if there's an official position on the issue.
    
    Thanks.

    I think think you can set a timeout (proxy.config.http.transaction_active_timeout_in) which doesn't care if data is being sent or not (it's a "hard" timeout on an active connection).
