Vulnerability discussion

Allowing other operating systems to run on a secure system, can allow users to circumvent security. If more than one operating system is installed on a computer each must be configured to be compliant with STIG guidance.

Check content

Open the Control. Panel Double-click on the “System” applet. Click on the “Advanced System Settings” link. Click the Startup and Recovery “Settings” button. If the drop-down listbox in System Startup shows any operating system other than the current Windows OS, this may be a finding. If all additional operating systems are STIG compliant, then this is not a finding.

Fix text

Remove any non STIG compliant alternate operating systems.

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.
