Vulnerability discussion

McAfee Application Control is deployed with default policies. To ensure the default policies are not used and that an organization knowingly configures their systems to their own configuration requirements, organization-specific policies will need to be created.

Check content

From the ePO server console System Tree, select the "Systems" tab. Select "This Group and All Subgroups". Select the asset to be validated. Select "Actions". Select "Agent". Select "Modify Policies on a Single System". From the product pull-down list, select Solidcore 7.x: General. From the "Policy" column, select the policy associated with the Category "Configuration (Client)" that is specific to the organization. If the only "Configuration (Client)" policy applied to the system is the "McAfee Default" policy, this is a finding.

Fix text

From the ePO server console System Tree, select the "Systems" tab. Select "This Group and All Subgroups". Select the asset. Select "Actions". Select "Agent". Select "Modify Policies on a Single System". From the product pull-down list, select Solidcore 7.x: General. From the "Actions" column, select "Edit Assignment" for the "Solidcore (Client)" Category. Next to "Assigned policy:", click on the drop-down selection box and choose an organization-specific "Solidcore (Client)" policy. Click "Save". If no organization-specific Solidcore (Client) policy exists, click on "New Policy". Choose "McAfee Default" for "Create a policy based on this existing policy". Type a unique Policy Name. Click "OK".

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.
