Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly enforces memory bounds checking and protections that block buffer over-reads such as the Storport.sys flaw.

prevent

Restricts the privileges of authorized local users so that successful exploitation cannot yield elevated rights.

prevent

Requires timely application of vendor patches that eliminate the buffer over-read vulnerability in the driver.

detects

Security testing in development can detect buffer over-reads before release.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and bounds checking that can prevent buffer over-reads.

prevents

Application security requirements can specify buffer-size and bounds-checking rules.

prevents

Secure architecture principles include memory-safety and bounds-checking design choices.

prevents

Secure coding standards directly require bounds-checked buffer access, mitigating over-reads.
