Mitigating Controls

Likely Mitigating Controls AI

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.

CP-5 Contingency Plan Update
addresses: CWE-404

Contingency plan updates incorporate proper resource shutdown and release steps, preventing attackers from leveraging incomplete cleanup during recovery scenarios.

SC-10 Network Disconnect
addresses: CWE-404

Mandates explicit shutdown of the network connection at session conclusion, directly addressing improper resource release.

SC-4 Information in Shared System Resources
addresses: CWE-404

Requires proper shutdown/release procedures that include overwriting or isolating data to block unintended transfer via reused system objects.

SI-17 Fail-safe Procedures
addresses: CWE-404

Procedures can mandate orderly shutdown or release of resources when failures occur, preventing improper resource handling after a fault.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly include coding standards for correct resource allocation and release.

DE.CM-09 partial match
prevents

Runtime monitoring can detect resource exhaustion caused by improper shutdown or release.

ID.AM-08 partial match
prevents

Lifecycle management of assets can encompass proper resource release at end-of-life or shutdown.

PR.IR-04 partial match
prevents

Capacity management helps surface leaks from unreleased resources but does not prevent the coding flaw.

A.5.37 Documented operating procedures partial match
prevents

Including restart, recovery and media-handling instructions reduces the likelihood that resources or sensitive data will be left in an exposed or improperly released state after a failure.
