Vulnerability discussion

The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is normally used only for booting diskless workstations and for getting or saving network component configuration files. Disabling the "tftp" protocol service ensures the system is not acting over tftp, which does not provide encryption or authentication.

Check content

Check if "tftp" is installed: # rpm -q tftp If there is a "tftp" package listed, this is a finding.

Fix text

To remove the "tftp" package use the following command: rpm -e tftp

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.
