High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The NFS Server (XNFS.NLM) for Novell NetWare 6.5 does not properly enforce the sys:\etc\exports file when hostname aliases from the sys:etc\hosts file are used. This could allow users to mount file systems when XNFS should deny access for the host.

Risk Assessment

The risk is that unauthorized users may gain access to file systems, potentially leading to data leakage or unauthorized modifications.

Recommendation

It is recommended to review and properly configure the sys:\etc\exports file and monitor hostname aliases in the sys:etc\hosts file to ensure adequate security.
