Vulnerability discussion

Failure to give ownership of the NFS export configuration file to root provides the designated owner and possible unauthorized users with the potential to change system configuration which could weaken the system's security posture.

Check content

Check the ownership of the dfstab file. Example: # ls -lL /etc/dfs/dfstab If the export configuration file is not owned by root, this is a finding.

Fix text

Change the owner of the dfstab file to root. Example: # chown root /etc/dfs/dfstab

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
