Check: GEN005080
VMware ESX 3 Server:
GEN005080
(in version v1 r2)
Title
The TFTP daemon must operate in "secure mode" which provides access only to a single directory on the host file system. (Cat I impact)
Discussion
Secure mode limits TFTP requests to a specific directory. If TFTP is not running in secure mode, it may be able to write to any file or directory and may seriously impair system integrity, confidentiality, and availability.
Check Content
Determine if tftpd is running in secure mode. If tftpd is running and not using secure mode, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure tftpd to run in secure mode.
