Mitigation
Architecture and Design
Implementation
Secure patch support to allow ROM code to be patched on the next boot.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design
Implementation
Support patches that can be programmed in-field or during manufacturing through hardware fuses. This feature can be used for limited patching of devices after shipping, or for the next batch of silicon devices manufactured, without changing the full device ROM.
CAPEC-682: Exploitation of Firmware or ROM Code with Unpatchable Vulnerabilities
An adversary may exploit vulnerable code (i.e., firmware or ROM) that is unpatchable. Unpatchable devices exist due to manufacturers intentionally or inadvertently designing devices incapable of updating their software. Additionally, with updatable devices, the manufacturer may decide not to support the device and stop making updates to their software.
