Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation can discover instances where untrusted data is turned into a pointer and dereferenced.

Validating all information inputs stops untrusted values from being accepted and converted into dereferenceable pointers.

Memory-protection mechanisms limit the damage from an invalid pointer dereference without stopping the root coding flaw.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly prevent introduction of untrusted pointer handling during development.

DE.CM-09 partial match
prevents

Runtime monitoring of software and data can detect adverse events resulting from exploitation of the weakness.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability identification processes can discover instances of this weakness via code review or scanning.

finds

Security testing can detect pointer-dereference flaws before release.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle includes pointer-safety practices that reduce untrusted pointer dereference risk.

prevents

Application security requirements can mandate validation of pointers obtained from untrusted sources.

prevents

Secure architecture principles discourage direct use of untrusted values as pointers.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid dereferencing pointers derived from untrusted input.
