The operating system must restrict the ability of users to launch Denial of Service attacks against other information systems or networks.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-33122	SRG-OS-000141-NA	SV-43520r1_rule		Medium

Description
When it comes to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, most of the attention is paid to ensuring the systems and applications are not victims of these attacks. 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. Carriers are in a much better position to mitigate the risk of and respond to DoS attacks.
