CVE-2023-3656

Explicitly prohibiting dangerous or unnecessary functions and services prevents exposure of methods that could be directly exploited.

Minimal functionality removes or avoids exposure of dangerous methods and functions.

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.

Vulnerability identification processes will surface exposed dangerous methods during assessment.

Logical access controls at the network/environment layer can limit reachability of exposed functions.

Restricting privileged utility programs reduces exposure of dangerous functions, but does not eliminate the underlying weakness.

Privileged access rights limit who can invoke dangerous methods, but do not address whether the method itself should exist.

Secure development life cycle requires removal or protection of dangerous APIs during design and coding.

Application security requirements can mandate that dangerous methods are not exposed in interfaces.

Secure architecture principles discourage exposing dangerous functions, but do not guarantee their absence.
