Description
The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) Server, known as tftpd, supports file transfer according to the industry standard Trivial File Transfer Protocol. The TFTP Server does not perform any user identification or authentication, allowing any client to connect to the TFTP Server. Due to this lack of security, the TFTP Server will not be used. Failure to restrict the use of the TFTP Server may result in unauthorized access to the host. This exposure may impact the integrity, availability, and privacy of application data.

Fix Text (F-17979r1_fix)
The IAO will ensure that the resource controls for the TFTP Server programs TFTPD and EZATD and ensure all access is restricted. Evaluate the impact of implementing the following change. Develop a plan of action and implement the change as required. 1) Ensure that the resource controls for the TFTP Server programs TFTPD and EZATD and ensure all access is restricted.
