The VMM must implement address space layout randomization to protect its memory from unauthorized code execution.
Overview
| Finding ID | Version | Rule ID | IA Controls | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| V-207504 | SRG-OS-000433-VMM-001750 | SV-207504r958928_rule | Medium |
| Description |
|---|
| Some adversaries launch attacks with the intent of executing code in non-executable regions of memory or in memory locations that are prohibited. Data execution prevention safeguards can either be hardware-enforced or software-enforced with hardware providing the greater strength of mechanism. Examples of attacks are buffer overflow attacks. |
