When an agent rule *Agent controller auto-registration (Managed Services Edition, Cloud
Edition)* was configured for an agent package one might assume that when installing this
package the agent encrypts its traffic.
But when installing such a package on a system without systemd but with xinetd installed
or a very old systemd versions, the agent was deployed without registration and
encryption.
With this Werk the deployment script for systemd/xinetd checks for
predefined/preconfigured connections and if it finds any it refuses to configure the
legacy mode.
The agent is still installed though but will not be accessible via the network, so access
with SSH will still be possible.
Therefore you can no longer use baked packages with auto registration for systems without
systemd or very old systemd versions where the legacy mode is desired.
These systems need to be excluded from the *Agent controller auto-registration (Managed
Services Edition, Cloud Edition)* rule.
*Vulnerability Management*:
We do not rate this as a exploitable vulnerability but a safe guard for unintended
configurations, therefore no CVE was assigned.
To aid automated scanning we assign a CVSS score of 0.0 None
(`CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:N`).
