Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation directly exercises deallocation paths and can find incorrect release calls or mismatched alloc/free pairs.

SA-15 Development Process, Standards, and Tools partial match

Documented development standards and tools can mandate safe memory-management idioms and static checks that avoid invalid releases.

SA-3 System Development Life Cycle partial match

An SDLC that incorporates security can embed memory-safety requirements, reducing the chance such coding errors are introduced.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Engineering principles require correct resource management and memory-release patterns that stop invalid pointer releases from being coded.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly prevent invalid pointer release errors during development.

Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing can detect invalid pointer releases before release.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices can mandate proper memory-management APIs and reviews that catch incorrect deallocation.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can specify correct use of release functions and pointer validation.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure architecture principles include safe memory handling and resource-lifetime rules.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding standards directly prohibit mismatched or incorrect pointer-release calls.
