| CEM Reference: |
The reference to underlying hardware, firmware and software in ADV_HLD.*.5C is unclear. It is assumed that the information required by this element concerns the virtual machine on which the TOE runs (if any), rather than mechanisms contained within the TOE (which is covered elsewhere in the component). As such it could be considered a requirement on information about the IT environment.
The phrase “underlying hardware, firmware and software” is interpreted to mean “information required by ADV_HLD.*.5C concerning the virtual machine on which the TOE runs (if any), rather than mechanisms contained within the TOE (which is covered elsewhere in the component), and as such it is a requirement on information about the IT environment”.
Specific Changes
CEM: Already addressed in CEM part 2 version 1.0
CC: Add a new application note after paragraph 328.
