The vCenter Server must reset port configuration when virtual machines are disconnected.
Description
Discussion Text
Port-level configuration overrides are disabled by default. Once enabled, this allows for different security settings to be set from what is established at the Port Group level. If overrides are not monitored, anyone who gains access to a VM with a less secure VDS configuration could exploit that broader access.
If any unknown or unauthorized per-port overrides exist and are not discarded when a virtual machine is disconnected from that port then a future virtual machine connected to that port may receive a less secure port.
