이름: Improper Restriction of Software Interfaces to Hardware Features

The product provides software-controllable device functionality for capabilities such as power and clock management, but it does not properly limit functionality that can lead to modification of hardware memory or register bits, or the ability to observe physical side channels.

일반 정보

취약점 도입 방식

Architecture and Design : An architect may initiate introduction of this weakness via exacting requirements for software accessible power/clock management requirements
Implementation : An implementer may introduce this weakness by assuming there are no consequences to unbounded power and clock management for secure components from untrusted ones.

참고 자료 설명

CVE-2019-11157

Plundervolt: Improper conditions check in voltage settings for some Intel(R) Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege and/or information disclosure via local access [REF-1081].

CVE-2020-8694

PLATYPUS Attack: Insufficient access control in the Linux kernel driver for some Intel processors allows information disclosure.

CVE-2020-8695

Observable discrepancy in the RAPL interface for some Intel processors allows information disclosure.

CVE-2020-12912

AMD extension to a Linux service does not require privileged access to the RAPL interface, allowing side-channel attacks.

CVE-2015-0565

NaCl in 2015 allowed the CLFLUSH instruction, making Rowhammer attacks possible.

취약점 매핑 메모

근거 : 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.
댓글 : 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.

관련 공격 패턴

CAPEC ID 공격 패턴 이름
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.
