CVE-2024-10403

AC-4 enforces information flow rules that can block unauthorized external access to files or directories.

Requires confidentiality protection of information at rest, directly covering the exposed core-dump contents.

Secure configuration baselines can restrict core-dump locations and permissions.

By tracing and retrieving all copies of information stored on endpoint and portable devices, the control reduces the likelihood that files remain accessible outside the organization’s security perimeter.

Classification helps identify core dumps as sensitive, but does not enforce storage or access restrictions.

Access-control policies can restrict who may read core-dump files, yet the control is broader than this specific weakness.

Granting only the minimum rights needed can prevent unauthorized access to core dumps, but does not address how or where they are generated.

Including asset location and ownership in the inventory, combined with secure disposal procedures, decreases the chance that files or directories remain accessible to external parties after they should have been removed or restricted.

Solid perimeters and locked external access points stop files, devices, or directories containing sensitive data from being reachable by external parties who could otherwise walk in or break in.
