CVE-2023-26285

This control implements explicit throttling on session allocation, addressing the weakness of allocating resources without limits.

Plan testing exercises resource allocation limits and throttling during simulated failures, directly addressing weaknesses that allow unbounded resource use.

Contingency plan updates ensure recovery strategies address unbounded resource allocation, making it harder for attackers to exploit lack of throttling to cause prolonged outages.

Provides continuity when unbounded resource allocation at the primary site leads to exhaustion and downtime.

Alternate services allow operations to continue when primary allocation of resources lacks limits or throttling.

Explicit planning of security-related actions requires defining limits, windows, and resource allocations, making allocation without throttling far less likely.

Measures of performance include tracking allocation behavior and throttling effectiveness, reducing the window for resource exhaustion attacks.

Ongoing control assessments and code testing (static/dynamic analysis, fuzzing) surface memory buffer restriction failures, which are then remediated before release.

Vulnerability scanning and code analysis directly surface buffer-boundary flaws.

Receiving and triaging vulnerability disclosures commonly includes buffer-related reports.

Developer training on secure coding reduces introduction of memory-buffer errors.

Patching replaces vulnerable code containing buffer-boundary defects.

Defining retention periods and deletion schedules for backup copies prevents indefinite accumulation of data on storage media without corresponding resource-management controls.

Architectural redundancy and automatic failover limit the impact of an attacker who forces excessive allocations, because spare capacity can absorb the load until the primary instance recovers.

Secure development lifecycle mandates memory-safety practices that directly prevent buffer-boundary violations.
