Summary
The default configuration for autofs 5 (autofs5) in some Linux distributions, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 and 5, does not specify the nodev mount option for the -hosts map, which allows local users to access "important devices" by operating a remote NFS server and creating special device files on that server, as demonstrated by the /dev/mem device.

Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: autofs security update
Notes
Topic
Updated autofs packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
Details
The autofs utility controls the operation of the automount daemon, which
automatically mounts file systems when you use them, and unmounts them when
you are not using them. This can include network file systems and CD-ROMs.
There was a security issue with the default configuration of autofs version
5, whereby the entry for the "-hosts" map did not specify the "nodev" mount
option. A local user with control of a remote NFS server could create
special device files on the remote file system, that if mounted using the
default "-hosts" map, could allow the user to access important system
devices. (CVE-2007-6285)
This issue is similar to CVE-2007-5964, which fixed a missing "nosuid"
mount option in autofs. Both the "nodev" and "nosuid" options should be
enabled to prevent a possible compromise of machine integrity.
Due to the fact that autofs always mounted "-hosts" map entries "dev" by
default, autofs has now been altered to always use the "nodev" option when
mounting from the default "-hosts" map. The "dev" option must be explicitly
given in the master map entry to revert to the old behavior. This change
affects only the "-hosts" map which corresponds to the "/net" entry in the
default configuration.
All autofs users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
Red Hat would like to thank Tim Baum for reporting this issue.

Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: autofs security update
Notes
Topic
Updated autofs packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
Details
The autofs utility controls the operation of the automount daemon, which
automatically mounts file systems when you use them, and unmounts them when
you are not using them. This can include network file systems and CD-ROMs.
There was a security issue with the default configuration of autofs version
5, whereby the entry for the "-hosts" map did not specify the "nodev" mount
option. A local user with control of a remote NFS server could create
special device files on the remote file system, that if mounted using the
default "-hosts" map, could allow the user to access important system
devices. (CVE-2007-6285)
This issue is similar to CVE-2007-5964, which fixed a missing "nosuid"
mount option in autofs. Both the "nodev" and "nosuid" options should be
enabled to prevent a possible compromise of machine integrity.
Due to the fact that autofs always mounted "-hosts" map entries "dev" by
default, autofs has now been altered to always use the "nodev" option when
mounting from the default "-hosts" map. The "dev" option must be explicitly
given in the master map entry to revert to the old behavior. This change
affects only the "-hosts" map which corresponds to the "/net" entry in the
default configuration.
All autofs users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
Red Hat would like to thank Tim Baum for reporting this issue.

Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: autofs5 security update
Notes
Topic
Updated autofs5 technology preview packages that fix a security issue are
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
Details
The autofs utility controls the operation of the automount daemon, which
automatically mounts file systems when you use them, and unmounts them when
you are not using them. This can include network file systems and CD-ROMs.
The autofs5 packages were made available as a technology preview in Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4.6.
There was a security issue with the default configuration of autofs version
5, whereby the entry for the "-hosts" map did not specify the "nodev" mount
option. A local user with control of a remote NFS server could create
special device files on the remote file system, that if mounted using the
default "-hosts" map, could allow the user to access important system
devices. (CVE-2007-6285)
This issue is similar to CVE-2007-5964, which fixed a missing "nosuid"
mount option in autofs. Both the "nodev" and "nosuid" options should be
enabled to prevent a possible compromise of machine integrity.
Due to the fact that autofs always mounted "-hosts" map entries "dev" by
default, autofs has now been altered to always use the "nodev" option when
mounting from the default "-hosts" map. The "dev" option must be explicitly
given in the master map entry to revert to the old behavior. This change
affects only the "-hosts" map which corresponds to the "/net" entry in the
default configuration.
All autofs5 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
Red Hat would like to thank Tim Baum for reporting this issue.

Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: autofs5 security update
Notes
Topic
Updated autofs5 technology preview packages that fix a security issue are
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
Details
The autofs utility controls the operation of the automount daemon, which
automatically mounts file systems when you use them, and unmounts them when
you are not using them. This can include network file systems and CD-ROMs.
The autofs5 packages were made available as a technology preview in Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4.6.
There was a security issue with the default configuration of autofs version
5, whereby the entry for the "-hosts" map did not specify the "nodev" mount
option. A local user with control of a remote NFS server could create
special device files on the remote file system, that if mounted using the
default "-hosts" map, could allow the user to access important system
devices. (CVE-2007-6285)
This issue is similar to CVE-2007-5964, which fixed a missing "nosuid"
mount option in autofs. Both the "nodev" and "nosuid" options should be
enabled to prevent a possible compromise of machine integrity.
Due to the fact that autofs always mounted "-hosts" map entries "dev" by
default, autofs has now been altered to always use the "nodev" option when
mounting from the default "-hosts" map. The "dev" option must be explicitly
given in the master map entry to revert to the old behavior. This change
affects only the "-hosts" map which corresponds to the "/net" entry in the
default configuration.
All autofs5 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
Red Hat would like to thank Tim Baum for reporting this issue.

"text": "The autofs utility controls the operation of the automount daemon, which\nautomatically mounts file systems when you use them, and unmounts them when\nyou are not using them. This can include network file systems and CD-ROMs.\nThe autofs5 packages were made available as a technology preview in Red Hat\nEnterprise Linux 4.6.\n\nThere was a security issue with the default configuration of autofs version\n5, whereby the entry for the \"-hosts\" map did not specify the \"nodev\" mount\noption. A local user with control of a remote NFS server could create\nspecial device files on the remote file system, that if mounted using the\ndefault \"-hosts\" map, could allow the user to access important system\ndevices. (CVE-2007-6285)\n\nThis issue is similar to CVE-2007-5964, which fixed a missing \"nosuid\"\nmount option in autofs. Both the \"nodev\" and \"nosuid\" options should be\nenabled to prevent a possible compromise of machine integrity.\n\nDue to the fact that autofs always mounted \"-hosts\" map entries \"dev\" by\ndefault, autofs has now been altered to always use the \"nodev\" option when\nmounting from the default \"-hosts\" map. The \"dev\" option must be explicitly\ngiven in the master map entry to revert to the old behavior. This change\naffects only the \"-hosts\" map which corresponds to the \"/net\" entry in the\ndefault configuration.\n\nAll autofs5 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which\nresolve this issue.\n\nRed Hat would like to thank Tim Baum for reporting this issue.",

Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: autofs5 security update
Notes
Topic
Updated autofs5 technology preview packages that fix a security issue are
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.
This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
Details
The autofs utility controls the operation of the automount daemon, which
automatically mounts file systems when you use them, and unmounts them when
you are not using them. This can include network file systems and CD-ROMs.
The autofs5 packages were made available as a technology preview in Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4.6.
There was a security issue with the default configuration of autofs version
5, whereby the entry for the "-hosts" map did not specify the "nodev" mount
option. A local user with control of a remote NFS server could create
special device files on the remote file system, that if mounted using the
default "-hosts" map, could allow the user to access important system
devices. (CVE-2007-6285)
This issue is similar to CVE-2007-5964, which fixed a missing "nosuid"
mount option in autofs. Both the "nodev" and "nosuid" options should be
enabled to prevent a possible compromise of machine integrity.
Due to the fact that autofs always mounted "-hosts" map entries "dev" by
default, autofs has now been altered to always use the "nodev" option when
mounting from the default "-hosts" map. The "dev" option must be explicitly
given in the master map entry to revert to the old behavior. This change
affects only the "-hosts" map which corresponds to the "/net" entry in the
default configuration.
All autofs5 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
Red Hat would like to thank Tim Baum for reporting this issue.

Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: autofs security update
Notes
Topic
Updated autofs packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
Details
The autofs utility controls the operation of the automount daemon, which
automatically mounts file systems when you use them, and unmounts them when
you are not using them. This can include network file systems and CD-ROMs.
There was a security issue with the default configuration of autofs version
5, whereby the entry for the "-hosts" map did not specify the "nodev" mount
option. A local user with control of a remote NFS server could create
special device files on the remote file system, that if mounted using the
default "-hosts" map, could allow the user to access important system
devices. (CVE-2007-6285)
This issue is similar to CVE-2007-5964, which fixed a missing "nosuid"
mount option in autofs. Both the "nodev" and "nosuid" options should be
enabled to prevent a possible compromise of machine integrity.
Due to the fact that autofs always mounted "-hosts" map entries "dev" by
default, autofs has now been altered to always use the "nodev" option when
mounting from the default "-hosts" map. The "dev" option must be explicitly
given in the master map entry to revert to the old behavior. This change
affects only the "-hosts" map which corresponds to the "/net" entry in the
default configuration.
All autofs users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
Red Hat would like to thank Tim Baum for reporting this issue.

Both the \"nodev\" and \"nosuid\" options should be\nenabled to prevent a possible compromise of machine integrity.\n\nDue to the fact that autofs always mounted \"-hosts\" map entries \"dev\" by\ndefault, autofs has now been altered to always use the \"nodev\" option when\nmounting from the default \"-hosts\" map. The \"dev\" option must be explicitly\ngiven in the master map entry to revert to the old behavior. This change\naffects only the \"-hosts\" map which corresponds to the \"/net\" entry in the\ndefault configuration.\n\nAll autofs users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which\nresolve this issue.\n\nRed Hat would like to thank Tim Baum for reporting this issue.",

Summary
The default configuration for autofs 5 (autofs5) in some Linux distributions, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 and 5, does not specify the nodev mount option for the -hosts map, which allows local users to access "important devices" by operating a remote NFS server and creating special device files on that server, as demonstrated by the /dev/mem device.
