Name: Improper Prevention of Lock Bit Modification

The product uses a trusted lock bit for restricting access to registers, address regions, or other resources, but the product does not prevent the value of the lock bit from being modified after it has been set.

Allgemeine Informationen

Hintergrundinformationen

Einführungsmodi

Architecture and Design : Such issues could be introduced during hardware architecture and design and identified later during Testing or System Configuration phases.

Häufige Konsequenzen

Bereich Auswirkung Wahrscheinlichkeit
Access ControlModify Memory

Hinweis: Design or coding errors in the implementation of the lock bit protection feature may allow the lock bit to be modified or cleared by software after it has been set. Attackers might be able to unlock the system and features that the bit is intended to protect. Registers protected by tje lock bit can be modified even when the lock is set.

Phases : Architecture and Design // Implementation // Testing

Erkennungsmethoden

Manual Analysis

Set the lock bit. Power cycle the device. Attempt to clear the lock bit. If the information is changed, implement a design fix. Retest. Also, attempt to indirectly clear the lock bit or bypass it.
Wirksamkeit : High

Hinweise zur Schwachstellen-Zuordnung

Begründung : This CWE entry is at the Base level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.
Kommentar : Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.
