High Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Once a pinhole is opened in the enclave boundary for a known session, the packets that are permitted to pass must be managed. If they are not properly managed, packets that are not part of a known session could traverse the pinhole, thereby giving unauthorized access to the enclave's LAN or connected hosts.
One method for managing these packets is stateful packet inspection. This inspection minimally validates that the permitted packets are part of a known session. This is a relatively weak but somewhat effective firewall function. A better method is to authenticate the source of the packet as coming from a known and authorized source.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
