Host must deactivate SLP

MoyenneNiveau 1Automatiséevmware

Description

The Service Location Protocol (SLP) is used for the discovery and selection of network services in local area networks, which simplifies configuration by allowing computers to find necessary services automatically. The practice of deactivating SLP when not in use aligns with the principle of minimizing the attack surface by shutting down non-essential services. The audit runs /etc/init.d/slpd status and requires "not running". Runs in the ESXi Shell (busybox sh) as root.

Méthode de vérification

Méthode d'audit: Commande shell

shell

st=$(/etc/init.d/slpd status 2>&1)
case "$st" in *'not running'*) echo compliant ;; *running*) echo 'slpd is running' ;; *) echo "slpd status: $st"; exit 1 ;; esac

Sortie attendue: compliant

Méthode de correction

1. Stop SLP if running: /etc/init.d/slpd stop Note: Confirm no operational dependency requires SLP before disabling it.
