Vendor Workaround
To mitigate this vulnerability, configure Keycloak to reject client-initiated TLS renegotiation by adding the following Java system property to the Keycloak startup configuration: -Djdk.tls.rejectClientInitiatedRenegotiation=true This prevents unauthenticated attackers from triggering repeated TLS renegotiations and exhausting server CPU resources. Additionally, ensure that Keycloak is deployed behind proper network access controls and rate-limiting mechanisms to further reduce exposure to DoS attacks.
