Weakness (CWE)
CWE-1233: Security-Sensitive Hardware Controls with Missing Lock Bit Protection
The product uses a register lock bit protection mechanism, but it does not ensure that the lock bit prevents modification of system registers or controls that perform changes to important hardware system configuration.
How to prevent it (1 mitigation)
-
Architecture and Design, Implementation, Testing
- Security lock bit protections must be reviewed for design inconsistency and common weaknesses.
- Security lock programming flow and lock properties must be tested in pre-silicon and post-silicon testing.
