Secure the USB Mass Storage Handler

Secure the USB mass storage handler to prevent it from loading by default on
VMware Aria Operations
appliances and to prevent its use as the USB device handler with the
VMware Aria Operations
appliances. Potential attackers can exploit this handler to install malicious software.
  1. Open the
    /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
    file in a text editor.
  2. Ensure that the
    install usb-storage /bin/false
    line appears in the file.
  3. Save the file and close it.
