Host must restrict inter-VM transparent page sharing

보통레벨 1자동vmware

설명

Transparent Page Sharing (TPS) aids in optimizing memory usage among virtual machines but under certain circumstances can be exploited to access data on adjacent virtual machines unauthorizedly. By configuring the Mem.ShareForceSalting parameter, inter-VM TPS is restricted, enhancing isolation and security. The audit reads Mem.ShareForceSalting with esxcli and requires 2. Runs in the ESXi Shell (busybox sh) as root.

shell

out=$(esxcli system settings advanced list -o /Mem/ShareForceSalting 2>/dev/null) || exit 1
v=$(printf '%s\n' "$out" | awk '$1=="Int" && $2=="Value:" {print $3; exit}')
case "$v" in ''|*[!0-9-]*) echo '/Mem/ShareForceSalting: no integer value'; exit 1 ;; esac
if [ "$v" -eq 2 ]; then echo compliant; else echo "/Mem/ShareForceSalting = $v (expected 2)"; fi

예상 출력: compliant
