EulerOS 2.0 SP13 : nfs-utils (EulerOS-SA-2026-2983)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 332866

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the nfs-utils packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 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)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS nfs-utils security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected nfs-utils packages.
