Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation (including concurrency and fuzz testing) can discover signal-handler race conditions before deployment.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Engineering principles such as least privilege, complete mediation, and avoidance of shared mutable state in handlers directly reduce introduction of signal-handler race conditions.

PR.PS-06 mostly match

prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly prevent introduction of signal-handler race conditions during coding and review.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match

finds

Security testing can detect signal-handler race conditions before release.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match

prevents

Secure SDLC practices can require avoidance of unsafe signal handling patterns.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match

degrades

Secure architecture principles can mandate safe concurrency and signal design.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match

prevents

Secure coding standards directly prohibit race-prone signal handlers.
