Unix running NFS

Risk Level: Low risk vulnerability  Low

Check or Attack Name: mountd

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.
