The operating system must employ automated mechanisms to enforce strict adherence to protocol format.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-33133	SRG-OS-000155-NA	SV-43531r1_rule		Medium

Description
Crafted packets not conforming to IEEE standards can be used by malicious people to exploit a host's protocol stack to create a Denial of Service or force a device reset. Rationale for non-applicability: Resource constraints on mobile devices preclude implementation of all IA functions. The applicability of this control may be reconsidered at a future date if subsequent generations of mobile devices are better able to support this control and the applications and data typically on the device justify its implementation.
