Language

Class: Not Language-Specific (Undetermined)

Common Consequences

Scope Impact Likelihood
OtherReduce Performance

Note: This issue can make the product perform more slowly, as connection pools allow connections to be reused without the overhead and time consumption of opening and closing a new connection. If the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this performance problem might introduce a vulnerability.

Vulnerability Mapping Notes

Justification : This entry is primarily a quality issue with no direct security implications.
Comment : Look for weaknesses that are focused specifically on insecure behaviors that have more direct security implications.
