medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 462656

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - A vulnerability was recently discovered in the rpc.mountd daemon in the nfs-utils package for Linux, that
 allows a NFSv3 client to escalate the privileges assigned to it in the /etc/exports file at mount time. In
 particular, it allows the client to access any subdirectory or subtree of an exported directory,
 regardless of the set file permissions, and regardless of any 'root_squash' or 'all_squash' attributes
 that would normally be expected to apply to that client. (CVE-2025-12801)

Solution

Update the nfs-utils library and its related packages to version 1:2.8.3-1+e1 or later.
