Title
The NFS export configuration file must be owned by root. (Cat II impact)
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 owner of the /etc/dfs/dfstab file. # echo `ls -lL /etc/dfs/dfstab` | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | tr '\011' ' ' | tr -s ' ' | cut -f 3,3 -d " " If the /etc/dfs/dfstab configuration file is not owned by root or bin, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Change the owner of the /etc/dfs/dfstab file to root. # chown root /etc/dfs/dfstab
