You are talking about policy enforcement and not a security issue. In
the scenario you are describing, the UA ignores or only partially
applies a policy and tries to set up a session anyway. To prevent this
from happening a policy enforcement mechanism is needed as explained in
the draft.

To prevent UAs from setting up unauthorized sessions, a policy
enforcement mechanism is needed.

Thanks,

Volker
