Konsekuensi Umum

Cakupan	Dampak	Kemungkinan
Access Control	Modify Memory Catatan: 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.	High

Metode Deteksi

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.
