Vulnerable System Drivers - OS Test

System drivers are essential for enabling communication between the operating system and hardware devices (like printers, graphics cards, or network adapters). A system driver is vulnerable when a driver software component of a computer system contains security flaws or weaknesses that can be exploited by malicious actors. If these drivers have vulnerabilities, they may provide an entry point for attackers to gain unauthorized access, escalate privileges, or cause other harmful effects. For this reason, the Vulnerable System Drivers - OS test reports the count of system drivers that are vulnerable, thus helping the administrator to rapidly identify and efficiently troubleshoot the issues caused by vulnerable drivers.

Target of the test : A Frame virtual desktop on the cloud

Agent deploying the test : A remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for every Dizzion Frame virtual desktop on the cloud that is currently launched.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test Period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Port	The default port is NULL.
Inside View Using	To obtain the 'inside view' of performance of the cloud-hosted Frame desktops - i.e., to measure the internal performance of the Frame virtual desktops - this test uses a light-weight eG VM Agent software deployed on each of the desktops. Accordingly, this parameter is by default set to eG VM Agent (Frame).
Report By User	This flag is set to Yes by default. The value of this flag cannot be changed. This implies that the virtual machines in VDI environments will always be identified using the login name of the user. In other words, in VDI environments, this test will, by default, report measures for every username_on_virtualmachinename.
Report Powered OS	This flag is relevant only for those tests that are mapped to the Inside View of Desktops layer. If this flag is set to Yes (which is the default setting), then the 'inside view' tests will report measures for even those Frame virtual desktops that do not have any users logged in currently. Such desktops will be identified by their name and not by the username_on_virtualdesktopname. On the other hand, if this flag is set to No, then this test will not report measures for those Frame virtual desktops to which no users are logged in currently.
Is Cloud VMs	Since this test runs for 'Frame Desktops' component which is a cloud-hosted desktop group, this flag is set to Yes by default.
DD Frequency	Refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD frequency.
Detailed Diagnosis	To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option. The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled: The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Number of vulnerable drivers	Indicates the total number of drivers that are vulnerable to malicious actions.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure reveals the list of the vulnerable drivers.
