Nama: Improper Restriction of Write-Once Bit Fields

The hardware design control register "sticky bits" or write-once bit fields are improperly implemented, such that they can be reprogrammed by software.

Informasi Umum

Detail Latar Belakang

Mode Pengenalan

Architecture and Design
Implementation : Such issues could be introduced during implementation of hardware design, since IP parameters and defaults are defined in HDL code and identified later during Testing or System Configuration phases.

Catatan: System configuration cannot be programmed in a secure way. Failure to implement write-once restrictions in hardware design can expose such registers to being re-programmed by software and written multiple times. For example, write-once fields could be implemented to only be write-protected if they have been set to value "1", wherein they would work as "write-1-once" and not "write-once".

Mitigasi yang Memungkinkan

Phases : Architecture and Design
During hardware design, all register write-once or sticky fields must be evaluated for proper configuration.

Metode Deteksi

Automated Analysis

Use automated tools to test that values are not reprogrammable and that write-once fields lock on writing zeros.

Catatan Pemetaan Kerentanan

Justifikasi : 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.
Komentar : 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.
