Host SSH daemon, if enabled, must use FIPS 140-2/140-3 validated cryptographic modules

MittelStufe 1Manuelle Prüfungvmware

Beschreibung

When enabled, the SSH daemon on the host should employ FIPS 140-2/140-3 validated cryptographic modules provided by OpenSSH. Although these modules are enabled by default, they can be deactivated for backward compatibility, thus auditing and ensuring the correct setting is crucial for maintaining security standards. Manual review: the check needs vCenter/PowerCLI, firmware or guest access, or an organization-specific value.

So wird geprüft

Prüfmethode: Manuelle Prüfung

Diese Empfehlung kann nicht automatisch geprüft werden. Ein Scan führt sie mit diesen Anweisungen auf, wenn Sie --include-manual übergeben.

Verify ESXi is operating with Broadcom-supported cryptographic modules and that SSH is using the platform-provided OpenSSH/crypto libraries. Review installed VIBs and do not accept replacement third-party SSH/crypto binaries.

So wird behoben

Behebungsmethode: Anleitung oder Infrastruktur-Patch

To remediate this recommendation, remove unsupported SSH/cryptographic binaries and restore the signed ESXi components from an approved image/profile. Keep ESXi patched so the validated cryptographic modules remain current.
