The operating system must check the validity of information inputs.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-33196	SRG-OS-000203-NA	SV-43594r1_rule		Medium

Description
Invalid user input occurs when a user inserts data or characters the system is unprepared to process. This results in unanticipated behavior that could lead to a compromise. 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. Additionally, several more specific input controls are included in the Mobile Applications SRG.
