Description
Information flow control regulates where information is allowed to travel within an information system and between information systems (as opposed to who is allowed to access the information) and without explicit regard to subsequent accesses to the information. The operating system must be able to support the hardware mechanisms associated with one way data flows. Applicable, but permanent finding - The hypervisor does not support this functionality.

Check Text ( C-SRG-OS-000015-ESXI5-PF_chk )
ESXi does not support this requirement. This is a permanent finding.

Fix Text (F-SRG-OS-000015-ESXI5-PF_fix)
This requirement is a permanent finding and cannot be fixed. An appropriate mitigation for the system must be implemented but this finding cannot be considered fixed.
