Prevent the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) module from loading on VMware Aria appliances by default. Potential attackers can exploit this protocol to compromise your system.
Configure your system to prevent the SCTP module from loading unless it is absolutely necessary. SCTP is an unused IETF-standardized transport layer protocol. Binding this protocol to the network stack increases the attack surface of the host. Unprivileged local processes might cause the kernel to dynamically load a protocol handler by using the protocol to open a socket.
