Check: GEN005440
VMware ESX 3 Server:
GEN005440
(in version v1 r2)
Title
The system must not be used as a syslog server (log host) for systems external to the enclave. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Syslog messages are typically unencrypted and may contain sensitive information and are, therefore, restricted to the enclave.
Check Content
Ask the SA if the log host server is collecting data for hosts outside the local enclave. If it is, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the hosts outside of the local enclave to not log to this system.
