Description: Use of privilege to control Host availability: an attacker who has gained admin rights for a device Host can crash or deny access to it. For mobile hosts, we assume the host can be permanently locked down, so access in any context is sufficient, causing loss of availablity unless independent instances of class Host are available.

Threat Type: Primary Threat
