---|---|---|
Platforms: | NFS | |
Description: | This system was found to support mounting of NFS file systems. The security of NFS relies heavily upon who is allowed to mount the volumes that a server exports, and whether or not they are exported read-only. Improperly configured access permissions on exported volumes can permit an attacker to gain access to critical files. |
|
Remedy: | Disable NFS, or check permissions on exported volumes. |
