A hardware device is missing or has inadequate protection features to prevent overheating.
Modes of Introduction:
– Architecture and Design
Related Weaknesses
Consequences
Availability: DoS: Resource Consumption (Other)
Potential Mitigations
Phase: Architecture and Design
Description:
Temperature maximum and minimum limits should be enforced using thermal sensors both in silicon and at the platform level.
Phase: Implementation
Description:
The platform should support cooling solutions such as fans that can be modulated based on device-operation needs to maintain a stable temperature.
