Vulnerability discussion

The rmmount.conf file controls the mounting of removable media on a Solaris system. Removable media is not to be trusted with privileged access, and therefore the filesystems must be mounted with the nosuid option, which prevents any executables with the setuid bit set on this filesystem from running with owner privileges.

Check content

# grep mount /etc/rmmount.conf Confirm the nosuid option is configured. mount * hsgs udgs ufs -o nosuid If the nosuid option is not configured in the /etc/rmmount.conf file, this is a finding.

Fix text

Edit /etc/rmmount.conf and add the nosuid mount option to the configuration.

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.
