Ubuntu 24.04 LTS must configure the uncomplicated firewall to rate-limit impacted network interfaces.
Description
Discussion Text
Denial of service (DoS) occurs when a resource is not available for legitimate users, resulting in the organization not being able to accomplish its mission or causing it to operate at degraded capacity.
This requirement addresses the configuration of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS to mitigate the impact of DoS attacks that have occurred or are ongoing on system availability. For each system, known and potential DoS attacks must be identified and solutions for each type implemented. A variety of technologies exist to limit or, in some cases, eliminate the effects of DoS attacks (e.g., limiting processes or establishing memory partitions). Employing increased capacity and bandwidth, combined with service redundancy, may reduce the susceptibility to some DoS attacks.
