Vulnerability discussion

Automated file system mounting tools may provide unprivileged users with the ability to access local media and network shares. If this access is not necessary for the system’s operation, it must be disabled to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to these resources.

Check content

Check if the autofs service is running. # rcautofs status OR # service autofs status If the service is running, this is a finding.

Fix text

Stop and disable the autofs service. # rcautofs stop OR # service autofs stop # insserv –r autofs OR # chkconfig autofs off

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.
