  • AlmaLinux OS 9 must disable mounting of udf.

    Removing support for unneeded filesystem types reduces the local attack surface of the server. The UDF filesystem is used to write DVDs and so could assist in data exfiltration, the so-called "sne...

    Group
  • AlmaLinux OS 9 must not have the nfs-utils package installed.

    "nfs-utils" provides a daemon for the kernel Network File System (NFS) server and related tools. This package also contains the "showmount" program. "showmount" queries the mount daemon on a remote...
