The NFS exports configuration file must not have an extended ACL.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-22493 GEN005770 SV-26168r1_rule ECLP-1 Low
Description
File system extended ACLs provide access to files beyond what is allowed by the mode numbers of the files. Excessive permissions on the NFS export configuration file could allow unauthorized modification of the file, which could result in Denial-of-Service to authorized NFS exports and the creation of additional unauthorized exports.
