Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly requires applying patches or updates to remediate the integer overflow flaw in FFmpeg's yuv2ya16_X_c_template function.

prevent

Enforces validation of input parameters (e.g., dimensions, strides) that trigger the CWE-190 integer overflow during YUV-to-YA16 conversion.

prevent

Requires developer testing and fuzzing of media-processing code paths to detect integer overflows before deployment of vulnerable FFmpeg builds.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require use of safe arithmetic, bounds checks, and testing that prevent integer overflows.

detects

Security testing in development can detect integer overflows before release.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and arithmetic checks that prevent integer overflows.

degrades

Application security requirements include bounds checking and safe arithmetic to avoid overflow conditions.

degrades

Secure architecture principles require defensive coding patterns that mitigate integer wraparound risks.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe integer operations and mandate overflow-safe constructs.
