Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.80028
Category:	Remote file access
Title:	User Mountable NFS shares
Summary:	It is possible to access the remote NFS shares without having; root privileges.
Description:	Summary: It is possible to access the remote NFS shares without having root privileges. Vulnerability Insight: Some of the NFS shares exported by the remote server could be mounted by the scanning host. An attacker may exploit this problem to gain read (and possibly write) access to files on remote host. Note that root privileges were not required to mount the remote shares. That is, the source port to mount the shares was bigger than 1024. Solution: Configure NFS on the remote host so that only authorized hosts can mount the remote shares. The remote NFS server should prevent mount requests originating from a non-privileged port. CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
