Flood a TLS server during post-handshake authentication #6

@artem-smotrakov

Description

@artem-smotrakov

From https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8446#section-4.6.2

   Note: Because client authentication could involve prompting the user,
   servers MUST be prepared for some delay, including receiving an
   arbitrary number of other messages between sending the
   CertificateRequest and receiving a response.

A malicious client can try to send other messages without sending authentication messages in a hope that the server crashes.
