Crash-restart vulnerabilities are present on the DSN system component.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-7970	DSN13.15	SV-8456r1_rule	ECSC-1	Medium

Description
Requirement: The IAO will ensure that tests are performed for crash-restart vulnerabilities and develop procedures to eliminate vulnerabilities found (i.e., ensure ENHANCED_PASSWORD_CONTROL is active to prevent system logons after restart on Nortel switches). Some systems reset to default settings (i.e. users names, passwords, user access privileges) when a re-boot is initiated. If this is the case and a restart occurs and action is not taken to reset default settings, the risk is increased for unauthorized access.
