The operating system must enforce a Discretionary Access Control (DAC) policy that limits propagation of access rights.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-33275	SRG-OS-000264-NA	SV-43694r1_rule		Medium

Description
Access control policies (e.g., identity-based policies, role-based policies, attribute-based policies) and access enforcement mechanisms (e.g., access control lists, access control matrices, cryptography) are employed by organizations to control access between users (or processes acting on behalf of users) and objects (e.g., devices, files, records, processes, programs, domains) in the operating system. Rationale for non-applicability: Resource constraints on mobile devices preclude implementation of this specific IA function. 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.
