Summary

Red Hat Security Advisory: autofs5 security update

Severity

Important

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.

CVE-2007-6285

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.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.

Vulnerabilities whose description is nearest to this one in the vector space of the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-biencoder model. This is a similarity search over the bi-encoder space (plain cosine), not a classification, and it has no measured accuracy.
