Ensure firewall rules exist for all open ports
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Any ports that have been opened on non-loopback addresses need firewall rules to govern traffic.
warning alert: Warning
To prevent denying any access to the system, automatic remediation
of this control is not available. Remediation must be automated as
a component of machine provisioning, or followed manually as outlined
above.
Rationale
Without a firewall rule configured for open ports default firewall policy will drop all packets to these ports.
