WindowsMutexObjectTypeWin Mutex Object Schema

The WindowsMutexObjectType type is intended to characterize Windows mutual exclusion (mutex) objects.


Field Name Type Description
@object_referenceoptional QName

The object_reference field specifies a unique ID reference to an Object defined elsewhere. This construct allows for the re-use of the defined Properties of one Object within another, without the need to embed the full Object in the location from which it is being referenced. Thus, this ID reference is intended to resolve to the Properties of the Object that it points to.

Custom_Properties0..1 CustomPropertiesType

The Custom_Properties construct is optional and enables the specification of a set of custom Object Properties that may not be defined in existing Properties schemas.

@namedoptional boolean

The named field specifies whether the Mutex is named.

Name0..1 StringObjectPropertyType

The Name field specifies the name for a named mutex object.

Handle0..1 WindowsHandleObjectType

The Handle field specifies the open Windows handle to the mutex. It imports and uses the WindowsHandleObjectType from the CybOX Windows Handle Object.

Security_Attributes0..1 StringObjectPropertyType

The Security_Attributes field specifies the Windows security attributes for the mutex.
