Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Requires unique identification of the service before communications, addressing failures to validate the origin of the interaction.
Trusted path establishment enforces validation that the communication originates from and reaches only the intended trusted system components.
Enforces validation of the true origin of DNS responses via signatures and chain-of-trust mechanisms.
Enforces origin validation of name/address data, eliminating reliance on unverified or impersonated DNS sources.
Mandates origin validation so that only legitimate endpoints can continue the authenticated session.
