Details
Check Text (C-281323r1167119_chk)
Note: If the "autofs" service is not installed, this requirement is not applicable.
Verify RHEL 10 is configured so that the file system automount function has been disabled with the following command:
$ systemctl is-enabled autofs
masked
If the returned value is not "masked", "disabled", or "not-found" and is not documented as an operational requirement with the information system security officer, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-85789r1167118_fix)
Configure RHEL 10 to disable the ability to automount devices.
The "autofs" service can be disabled with the following command:
$ sudo systemctl mask --now autofs.service
