Ensure NFS and RPC are not enabled

MediumLevel 1Automatedlinux

Description

The Network File System (NFS) is one of the first and most widely distributed file systems in the UNIX environment. It provides the ability for systems to mount file systems of other servers through the network.

How it is checked

Audit method: Shell command

shell

alt0() { command -v systemctl >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "step1: systemctl not installed"; return 1; }; o=$(bash -c 'systemctl is-enabled nfs' 2>&1); printf '%s\n' "$o" | tr -s ' \t' '  ' | sed 's/^ //;s/ $//' | grep -Fxq -- disabled || { echo step1: missing disabled; return 1; }; command -v systemctl >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "step2: systemctl not installed"; return 1; }; o=$(bash -c 'systemctl status nfs' 2>&1); printf '%s\n' "$o" | tr -s ' \t' '  ' | sed 's/^ //;s/ $//' | grep -Fxq -- 'Active: inactive (dead)' || { echo step2: missing 'Active: inactive (dead)'; return 1; }; command -v systemctl >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "step3: systemctl not installed"; return 1; }; o=$(bash -c 'systemctl is-enabled nfs-server' 2>&1); printf '%s\n' "$o" | tr -s ' \t' '  ' | sed 's/^ //;s/ $//' | grep -Fxq -- disabled || { echo step3: missing disabled; return 1; }; command -v systemctl >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "step4: systemctl not installed"; return 1; }; o=$(bash -c 'systemctl status nfs-server' 2>&1); printf '%s\n' "$o" | tr -s ' \t' '  ' | sed 's/^ //;s/ $//' | grep -Fxq -- 'Active: inactive (dead)' || { echo step4: missing 'Active: inactive (dead)'; return 1; }; command -v systemctl >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "step5: systemctl not installed"; return 1; }; o=$(bash -c 'systemctl is-enabled rpcbind' 2>&1); printf '%s\n' "$o" | tr -s ' \t' '  ' | sed 's/^ //;s/ $//' | grep -Fxq -- disabled || { echo step5: missing disabled; return 1; }; command -v systemctl >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "step6: systemctl not installed"; return 1; }; o=$(bash -c 'systemctl status rpcbind' 2>&1); printf '%s\n' "$o" | tr -s ' \t' '  ' | sed 's/^ //;s/ $//' | grep -Fxq -- 'Active: inactive (dead)' || { echo step6: missing 'Active: inactive (dead)'; return 1; }; }; if alt0; then echo compliant; fi

Expected output: compliant

How it is fixed

Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch

Run the following commands to disable nfs, nfs-server and rpcbind: # systemctl disable nfs # systemctl disable nfs-server # systemctl disable rpcbind # systemctl stop nfs # systemctl stop nfs-server # systemctl stop rpcbind
