Vulnerability discussion

Web servers provide numerous processes, features, and functionalities that utilize TCP/IP ports. Some of these processes may be deemed unnecessary or too unsecure to run on a production system.The HAProxy load balancer in the vRA appliance listens to ports 80 and 443 on behalf of the vcac service.

Check content

At the command prompt, execute the following command: grep 'bind' /etc/haproxy/conf.d/20-vcac.cfg If two lines are not returned, this is a finding. If the values for bind are not set to "80" and to "443", this is a finding.

Fix text

Navigate to and open /etc/haproxy/conf.d/20-vcac.cfg Navigate to and configure the "frontend https-in" section with the following two values: bind 0.0.0.0:80 bind 0.0.0.0:443 ssl crt /etc/apache2/server.pem ciphers FIPS:+3DES:!aNULL no-sslv3

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
