The product attempts to initialize a resource but does not correctly do so, which might leave the resource in an unexpected, incorrect, or insecure state when it is accessed.
Choose the safest-possible initialization for security-related resources.
Ensure that each resource (whether variable, memory buffer, register, etc.) is fully initialized.
Pay close attention to complex conditionals or reset sources that affect initialization, since some paths might not perform the initialization.
Ensure that the design and architecture clearly identify what the initialization should be, and that the initialization does not have security implications.
