Scan of Oracle 12c E-Business Suite Application Consumes all Database Processe within a few minutes

Rui | Last updated: Feb 25, 2016 05:47PM UTC

Old database processes are not released and remain in the system for an hour or more forcing a database re-start. Number of database processes at 1.2K. Is this a Burp thing (i.e. is there a Burp Prof setting to prevent this)? or is this something with the Oracle DB settings (if so which and how can we fix it)? Thanks

This sounds like a bug within the application. If a normal scan of the application causes it to lock up its database connection pool, then that sounds like a denial-of-service condition. The application should be properly releasing all database connections after use.
