Description
<VulnDiscussion>The system application disable list controls user access/execution of all core and pre-installed applications. Core application: Any application integrated into Samsung Android by Google or Samsung. Pre-installed application: Additional non-core applications included in the Samsung Android build by Google, Samsung, or the wireless carrier. Some system applications can compromise DoD data or upload user's information to non-DoD-approved servers. A user must be blocked from using applications that exhibit behavior that can result in compromise of DoD data or DoD user information. The site Administrator must analyze all pre-installed applications on the device and disable all applications not approved for DoD use by configuring the system application disable list.
