Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Authorizing wireless access restricts the wireless communication channel to only intended endpoints.
Approving specific exchanges and documenting interface characteristics restricts communication channels to only intended endpoints and systems.
Limits physical connectivity to transmission channels, supporting restriction of communication paths to only intended endpoints.
Requiring providers to meet communication-channel restrictions and monitoring adherence reduces improper restriction of channels to intended endpoints.
Mandates restriction of the channel for authentication to only the intended trusted endpoints, blocking unauthorized communication paths.
Explicit control of VoIP traffic forces organizations to restrict communication channels to only intended endpoints and protocols.
Explicit internal/external separation restricts name-resolution channels to their intended communication endpoints.
Enforces that the wireless communication channel is usable only by intended endpoints, addressing improper channel restriction.
