Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Memory protection mechanisms (e.g., ASLR, stack canaries, DEP) directly block exploitation of the stack-based buffer overflow in the DDSH CLI.

prevent

Strict validation of all CLI command arguments and input buffers would have prevented the overflow condition from occurring.

prevent

Enforcing least privilege reduces the population of local accounts that possess the high privileges required to reach the vulnerable DDSH CLI path.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure-development practices directly prevent introduction of stack buffer overflows.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability scanning can discover stack buffer overflows but does not prevent their introduction.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Patching eliminates known instances of the weakness after discovery.

detects

Security testing (fuzzing, static analysis) detects stack overflows before release.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates buffer-safety practices that directly prevent stack overflows.

prevents

Application security requirements can specify buffer-size and input-validation rules.

prevents

Secure architecture principles include memory-safety and least-privilege stack usage.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe buffer handling that causes CWE-121.

none

Change-management gates can enforce security reviews that catch buffer issues.
