VCEM-67-000011 - ESX Agent Manager must be configured to limit access to internal packages.

Information

The 'package.access' entry in the 'catalina.properties' file implements access control at the package level. When properly configured, a security exception will be reported if there is an errant or malicious webapp attempt to access the listed internal classes directly or if a new class is defined under the protected packages. The ESX Agent Manager comes preconfigured with the appropriate packages defined in 'package.access', and this configuration must be maintained.

Solution

Navigate to and open:

/etc/vmware-eam/catalina.properties

Ensure that the 'package.access' line is configured as follows:

package.access=
sun.,
org.apache.catalina.,
org.apache.coyote.,
org.apache.tomcat.,
org.apache.jasper.
