Virtual machines must limit PCI/PCIe device passthrough functionality

MoyenneNiveau 1Automatiséevmware

Description

DirectPath I/O features provide virtual machines the ability to directly access system hardware, which while advantageous for performance, can impact risk mitigation tools like vMotion, DRS, and High Availability. It also opens up a potential attack vector for privileged hardware access. Expected: no pciPassthruN.present = "TRUE". The audit parses every .vmx file under /vmfs/volumes/ on the host and lists the VMs that do not comply; it passes when none are found (or no VMs exist). Runs in the ESXi Shell (busybox sh) as root.

Méthode d'audit: Commande shell

shell

command -v find >/dev/null 2>&1 || exit 1
out=$(find /vmfs/volumes/ -maxdepth 3 -type f -name '*.vmx' 2>/dev/null | while IFS= read -r f; do

done)
[ -z "$out" ] && echo compliant || printf '%s\n' "$out" | head -n 25

Sortie attendue: compliant

Méthode de correction

Méthode de correction: Recommandation ou correctif d'infrastructure

The following PowerCLI command can be used: # Add the setting to all VMs Get-VM | New-AdvancedSetting -Name "pciPassthru*.present" -value "false"
