CVE-2003-0335

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In Slackware 9.0, the rc.M script calls quotacheck with the -M option, which causes the filesystem to be remounted and potentially resets security-relevant mount flags such as nosuid, nodev, and noexec.

Risk Assessment

Resetting security flags may lead to increased attack risks, allowing unauthorized programs to run and access devices, jeopardizing system integrity.

Recommendation

It is recommended to review and modify the rc.M script to avoid using the -M option in the quotacheck command and to monitor the security flag settings of the filesystem.
