Overview
| Finding ID | Version | Rule ID | IA Controls | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SRG-OS-000202-ESXI5-PNF | SRG-OS-000202-ESXI5-PNF | SRG-OS-000202-ESXI5-PNF_rule | Medium |
| Description |
|---|
| Unauthorized changes to the operating system software or information on the system can possibly result in integrity or availability concerns. In order to quickly react to this situation, the operating system must detect these changes. Applicable, but permanent not-a-finding - SRG-OS-99999-ESXI5-000159 requires 3 digitally-signed, software package acceptance levels: Vmware, Vmware Accepted, and Vmware Partner. The vSphere Update Manager "application" (vUM is referenced in the vCenter STIG) makes it easy to manage tracking and patching of vSphere hosts. vUM keeps machines up to date and in compliance, and provides visibility into package/patch status across the virtual infrastructure with a compliance "dashboard". |
