Discussion

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.

Check Content

# ls -lL /etc/dfs/dfstab If the file has a mode more permissive than 0644, this is a finding.
