Assessment Title

Rule Text

Automated file system mounting tools must not be enabled unless needed.

Description

Discussion Text

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.

How this relates to the STIG checklist: STIG vs SCAP benchmark.

SCC Automation Reference

The reconstructed evaluation script behind this rule's OVAL check(s) — every module a compound check combines, with this rule's own concrete values and DISA's SCC tool's real per-module mechanism curated from static teardown of SCC releases.

Assessment Script Powered by AISandbox-executed

A standalone Shell script to assess this control automatically. Review before running it in your environment.

Syntax-checked and actually executed in an isolated sandbox (not the real system this checks) — confirmed to run without errors.

#!/bin/sh
# OVAL Definition: oval:mil.disa.fso.hpux11:def:412
if [ ! -f "/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf" ]; then echo "PASS"; exit 0; fi
grep -q "^AUTOFS=0$" /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf || { echo "FAIL"; exit 1; }
echo "PASS"; exit 0

Remediation

Stop and disable the autofs service.
Edit /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf and set the AUTOFS setting to 0.

Restart the nfs.client service.
# /usr/sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop
# /usr/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start
