Virtual machine rollbacks are performed when virtual machine is connected to the network.
Description
Discussion Text
Virtual machines may be rolled back to a previous state. Rolling back a virtual machine can re-expose patched vulnerabilities, re-enable previously disabled accounts or passwords, remove log files of a machine, use previously retired encryption keys, and change firewalls to expose vulnerabilities. Rolling back virtual machines can also reintroduce malicious code, and protocols reusing TCP sequence numbers that had been previously removed, which could allow TCP hijacking attacks.
