Mitigation
Phases: Implementation, Architecture and Design
Description:
- In flat address space situations, never allow computing memory addresses as offsets from another memory address.
Mitigation
Phase: Architecture and Design
Description:
- Fully specify protocol layout unambiguously, providing a structured grammar (e.g., a compilable yacc grammar).
Mitigation
Phase: Testing
Description:
- Testing: Test that the implementation properly handles each case in the protocol grammar.
No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
