# CIS 1.1.21 Disable Automounting |
|
|
|
# |
|
|
|
# Description |
|
|
|
# =========== |
|
|
|
# autofs allows automatic mounting of devices, typically including CD/DVDs |
|
|
|
# and USB drives. |
|
|
|
# |
|
|
|
# Rationale |
|
|
|
# ========= |
|
|
|
# With automounting enabled anyone with physical access could attach a USB |
|
|
|
# drive or disc and have its contents available in system even if they lacked |
|
|
|
# permissions to mount it themselves. |
|
|
|
# |
|
|
|
# Audit |
|
|
|
# ===== |
|
|
|
# Run the following command to verify autofs is not enabled: |
|
|
|
# |
|
|
|
# # systemctl is-enabled autofs |
|
|
|
# disabled |
|
|
|
# |
|
|
|
# Verify result is not "enabled". |
|
|
|
# |
|
|
|
# Remediation |
|
|
|
# =========== |
|
|
|
# |
|
|
|
# Run the following command to disable autofs : |
|
|
|
# |
|
|
|
# # systemctl disable autofs |
|
|
|
# |
|
|
|
# Impact |
|
|
|
# ====== |
|
|
|
# The use portable hard drives is very common for workstation users. If your |
|
|
|
# organization allows the use of portable storage or media on workstations |
|
|
|
# and physical access controls to workstations is considered adequate there |
|
|
|
# is little value add in turning off automounting. |
|
|
|
# |
|
|
|
# Notes |
|
|
|
# ===== |
|
|
|
# This control should align with the tolerance of the use of portable drives |
|
|
|
# and optical media in the organization. On a server requiring an admin to |
|
|
|
# manually mount media can be part of defense-in-depth to reduce the risk of |
|
|
|
# unapproved software or information being introduced or proprietary software |
|
|
|
# or information being exfiltrated. If admins commonly use flash drives and |
|
|
|
# Server access has sufficient physical controls, requiring manual mounting |
|
|
|
# may not increase security. |
