A local user with control of a remote NFS server could create special device files on the remote file system, that if mounted using the default '-hosts' map, could allow the user to access important system devices. (CVE-2007-6285) This issue is similar to CVE-2007-5964, which fixed a missing 'nosuid' mount option in autofs. Both the 'nodev' and 'nosuid' options should be enabled to prevent a possible compromise of machine integrity. Due to the fact that autofs always mounted '-hosts' map entries 'dev' by default, autofs has now been altered to always use the 'nodev' option when mounting from the default '-hosts' map. The 'dev' option must be explicitly given in the master map entry to revert to the old behavior. This change affects only the '-hosts' map which corresponds to the '/net' entry in the default configuration.

This could allow a local user with control of a remote NFS server to create a setuid root executable on the exported filesystem of the remote NFS server. If this filesystem was mounted with the default hosts map, it would allow the user to obtain root privileges (CVE-2007-5964). Likewise, the same scenario would be available for local users able to create device files on the exported filesystem which could allow the user to gain access to important system devices (CVE-2007-6285). Because the default behaviour of autofs was to mount -hosts map entries with the dev and suid options enabled by default, autofs has been altered to always use nodev and nosuid by default. In order to have the old behaviour, the configuration must now explicitly set the dev and/or suid options. This change only affects the -hosts map which corresponds to the /net entry in the default configuration.
