制限やスロットリングのないファイルディスクリプタやハンドルの割り当て

Allocation of File Descriptors or Handles Without Limits or Throttling
脆弱性 作成中
JA

この製品は、アクターに代わってファイル記述子またはハンドルを割り当てるが、割り当て可能な記述子の数には何の制限も課さないため、アクターが意図するセキュリティ・ポリシーに違反する。

このため、製品が利用可能なファイル記述子やハンドルをすべて消費してしまい、他のプロセスが重要なファイル処理操作を実行できなくなる可能性がある。

EN

The product allocates file descriptors or handles on behalf of an actor without imposing any restrictions on how many descriptors can be allocated, in violation of the intended security policy for that actor.

This can cause the product to consume all available file descriptors or handles, which can prevent other processes from performing critical file processing operations.

Scope: Availability / Impact: DoS: Resource Consumption (Other)
Use resource-limiting settings provided by the operating system or environment. For example, when managing system resources in POSIX, setrlimit() can be used to set limits for certain types of resources, and getrlimit() can determine how many resources are available. However, these functions are not available on all operating systems.

When the current levels get close to the maximum that is defined for the application (see CWE-770), then limit the allocation of further resources to privileged users; alternately, begin releasing resources for less-privileged users. While this mitigation may protect the system from attack, it will not necessarily stop attackers from adversely impacting other users.

Ensure that the application performs the appropriate error checks and error handling in case resources become unavailable (CWE-703).
