Assessment Title

Rule Text

RHEL 10 must not have the "nfs-utils" package installed.

Description

Discussion Text

The "nfs-utils" package provides a daemon for the kernel Network File System (NFS) server and related tools. This package also contains the "showmount" program. The "showmount" program queries the mount daemon on a remote host for information about the NFS server on the remote host. For example, "showmount" can display the clients that are mounted on that host.

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

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.

if rpm -q nfs-utils >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo "FAIL"; exit 1; fi; echo "PASS"; exit 0

Remediation

Configure RHEL 10 to not have the "nfs-utils" package installed with the following command:

$ sudo dnf -y remove nfs-utils
