Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer security testing and code review can discover incorrect buffer-size computations before deployment.
Secure engineering principles directly require correct buffer-size arithmetic and bounds-checked allocation.
Input validation can enforce that supplied lengths or counts used in size calculations are within safe bounds.
Memory-protection mechanisms limit the exploitability of an overflow that results from an incorrect size calculation.
Flaw-remediation processes that include vulnerability scanning or static analysis will surface buffer-size errors.
