Configuration tools are enabled for virtual machines.
Description
Discussion Text
There are other settings that should be specified in the configuration files for virtual machines. The connectable setting disables connecting and disconnecting removable devices from within the virtual machine. The diskShrink setting shrinks the virtual disk. The diskWiper defragments virtual disks. These last two settings could effectively cause a DoS by having the virtual disk defragmented and shrunk on demand.
The commands that should be disabled are listed:
isolation.device.connectable.disable = "TRUE"
isolation.tools.diskShrink.disable = "TRUE"
isolation.tools.diskWiper.disable = "TRUE"
