Secure AppleTalk
Protocol
Prevent the AppleTalk protocol from
loading on VMware Aria appliances by default. Potential attackers might exploit this
protocol to compromise your system.
Avoid loading the AppleTalk
Protocol module unless it is necessary. Binding this protocol to the network
stack increases the attack surface of the host. Unprivileged local processes
might cause the system to dynamically load a protocol handler by using the
protocol to open a socket.
- Open the/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conffile in a text editor.
- Ensure that the lineinstall appletalk /bin/falseappears in this file.
- Save the file and close it.
