Discussion

Use of nonsecure network functions, ports, protocols, and services exposes the system to avoidable threats.

Check Content

At the command prompt, execute the following command:

# grep '^\s*port\b' /storage/db/vcops/vpostgres/data/postgresql.conf

If the port is set to "5432", this is NOT a finding.

If the port is not set to "5432" and if the ISSO does not have documentation of an approved variance for using a non-standard port, this is a finding.

Fix Text

At the command prompt, execute the following commands:

# /opt/vmware/vpostgres/current/bin/psql -U postgres -c "ALTER SYSTEM SET port TO '5432';"
# /opt/vmware/vpostgres/current/bin/psql -U postgres -c "SELECT pg_reload_conf();"
