An IS has its BIOS set to allow a boot from a USB device.
Description
Discussion Text
If an IS's BIOS is left set to allow it to be booted from a USB device, an individual can plug a USB device into the IS and force a reboot, either performing a hardware reset or cycling the power. This can lead to a denial of service. Additionally this can lead to the compromise of sensitive data on the IS that was rebooted and possibly to the network the IS is attached.
