Mitigaciones potenciales

Phases : Architecture and Design
Use a language or a library that provides a cryptography framework at a higher level of abstraction.

Phases : Implementation
Applications should set up an SSL_CTX completely, before creating SSL objects from it.

Notas de mapeo de vulnerabilidades

Justificación : This CWE entry is at the Variant level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.
Comentario : 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.
