Improper Validation of Integrity Check Value
描述
The product does not validate or incorrectly validates the integrity check values or "checksums" of a message. This may prevent it from detecting if the data has been modified or corrupted in transmission.
Improper validation of checksums before use results in an unnecessary risk that can easily be mitigated. The protocol specification describes the algorithm used for calculating the checksum. It is then a simple matter of implementing the calculation and verifying that the calculated checksum and the received checksum match. Improper verification of the calculated checksum and the received checksum can lead to far greater consequences.
常见后果
范围：Integrity, Other
影响：Modify Application Data, Other
注释：Integrity checks usually use a secret key that helps authenticate the data origin. Skipping integrity checking generally opens up the possibility that new data from an invalid source can be injected.
范围：Integrity, Other
影响：Other
注释：Data that is parsed and used may be corrupted.
范围：Non-Repudiation, Other
