I am going through the vmware-vspher50-hardening-guide.xls on an ESXi 5.0.0 768111 host running on a Dell R905. When I ran through the verify-kernel-modules step in the spreadsheet by running esxcli system module get -m vmkapei it listed:
Module: vmkapei
Module File: /usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod/vmkapei
License: VMware
Version: Built on: Jun 29, 2012
Signed Status:
Signature Issuer:
Signature Digest:
Signature Fingerprint:
Provided Namespaces:
Required Namespaces: com.vmware.vmkapei@V2_0_0_0, vmkernel@nover
All other modules showed they were VMware Signed and issued by VMware ,Inc and had info for all other fields. I believe all modules were signed when I checked them last year.
Has anyone else discovered this module is unsigned? Is this a major issue?
