AvailabilityDoS: Resource Consumption (Other)High

Mögliche Gegenmaßnahmen

Phases : Architecture and Design
Temperature maximum and minimum limits should be enforced using thermal sensors both in silicon and at the platform level.
Phases : Implementation
The platform should support cooling solutions such as fans that can be modulated based on device-operation needs to maintain a stable temperature.

Erkennungsmethoden

Dynamic Analysis with Manual Results Interpretation

Dynamic tests should be performed to stress-test temperature controls.
Wirksamkeit : High

Architecture or Design Review

Power management controls should be part of Architecture and Design reviews.
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.

Verwandte Angriffsmuster

CAPEC-ID Name des Angriffsmusters
CAPEC-624 Hardware Fault Injection
The adversary uses disruptive signals or events, or alters the physical environment a device operates in, to cause faulty behavior in electronic devices. This can include electromagnetic pulses, laser pulses, clock glitches, ambient temperature extremes, and more. When performed in a controlled manner on devices performing cryptographic operations, this faulty behavior can be exploited to derive secret key information.
CAPEC-625 Mobile Device Fault Injection
Fault injection attacks against mobile devices use disruptive signals or events (e.g. electromagnetic pulses, laser pulses, clock glitches, etc.) to cause faulty behavior. When performed in a controlled manner on devices performing cryptographic operations, this faulty behavior can be exploited to derive secret key information. Although this attack usually requires physical control of the mobile device, it is non-destructive, and the device can be used after the attack without any indication that secret keys were compromised.
