CWE-1037 处理器优化致使安全关键代码被删除或修改

Processor Optimization Removal or Modification of Security-critical Code

结构: Simple

Abstraction: Base

状态: Incomplete

被利用可能性: Low

基本描述

The developer builds a security-critical protection mechanism into the software, but the processor optimizes the execution of the program such that the mechanism is removed or modified.

常见的影响

范围 影响 注释
Integrity Bypass Protection Mechanism A successful exploitation of this weakness will change the order of an application's execution and will likely be used to bypass specific protection mechanisms. This bypass can be exploited further to potentially read data that should otherwise be unaccessible.

检测方法

White Box

In theory this weakness can be detected through the use of white box testing techniques where specifically crafted test cases are used in conjunction with debuggers to verify the order of statements being executed.

Although the mentioned detection method is theoretically possible, the use of speculative execution is a preferred way of increasing processor performance. The reality is that a large number of statements are executed out of order, and determining if any of them break an access control property would be extremely opportunistic.
