Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Monitors, approves, and documents changes to critical configuration state data, mitigating external control risks.
Requires authorization and prevents reuse, mitigating external control of critical identifier state data.
Makes persistent code injection into loaded programs impossible when the executable image itself resides on hardware-protected read-only media.
Dynamically generated code can be produced and executed inside the isolated chamber, preventing host compromise from code-injection payloads.
Validates inputs used in dynamic code generation to block injected directives.
Directly prevents execution of attacker-supplied code written into data memory regions.
Directly counters external corruption or unavailability of critical state data by mandating and using alternative sources for essential functions.
Limits external actors' ability to control critical state through input channels.
