Host SSH daemon, if enabled, must not allow use of gateway ports

SrednjaNivo 1Automatskavmware

Opis

When enabled, the SSH daemon on the host should have the gateway ports feature disabled to prevent remote hosts from forwarding connections. This is a hardening measure to ensure that the SSH service is securely configured against potential forwarding misuses. The audit reads /etc/ssh/sshd_config and requires GatewayPorts no (unset = OpenSSH default no). Runs in the ESXi Shell (busybox sh) as root.

Kako se proverava

Metod provere: Komanda ljuske

shell

f=/etc/ssh/sshd_config; [ -r "$f" ] || exit 1
v=$(awk 'tolower($1)=="gatewayports" {print tolower($2); exit}' "$f")
case "$v" in '') echo compliant ;; no) echo compliant ;; *) echo "GatewayPorts $v" ;; esac

Očekivani izlaz: compliant

Kako se ispravlja

Metod ispravke: Smernica ili zakrpa infrastrukture

To remediate this recommendation, set GatewayPorts no in the supported ESXi SSH configuration. Restart SSH only during an authorized maintenance/admin window and verify the effective setting.
