2.1.31 Ensure a TFTP server has not been installed on the system

Information

The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server package must not be installed if not required for operational support.

If TFTP is required for operational support (such as the transmission of router configurations) its use must be documented with the Information System Security Officer (ISSO), restricted to only authorized personnel, and have access control rules established.

Solution

Remove the TFTP package from the system with the following command:

# dnf remove tftp-server
