ESX Server is not authenticating the time source with a hashing algorithm.
Description
Discussion Text
Since NTP is used to ensure accurate log file timestamps for information, NTP could pose a security risk if a malicious user were able to falsify NTP information. Implementing authentication between NTP peers can mitigate this risk. When hashing authentication is enforced, there is a greater level of assurance that NTP updates are from a trusted source.
