Vulnerability Data

Envoy is a cloud-native high-performance edge/middle/service proxy. In affected versions envoy does not properly handle http 1.1 non-101 1xx responses. This can lead to downstream failures in networked devices. This issue has been addressed in versions 1.31.5 and 1.32.3. Users…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation at post-design stages directly exercises control-flow paths and reveals mismatches between implemented and intended behavior.

Requiring a documented development process and supporting tools reduces the chance that incorrect control-flow logic is introduced in the first place.

Flaw identification and remediation processes can locate and correct control-flow errors once they manifest as incorrect runtime behavior.

prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly prevent incorrect control-flow implementations via reviews, testing, and static analysis.

finds

Security testing in development and acceptance can detect paths that deviate from intended logic.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle processes can catch incorrect control-flow logic during design and code review.

prevents

Secure coding standards and reviews directly target flawed control-flow implementations.

prevents

Change-management gates may prevent deployment of flawed logic but do not address the coding defect itself.
