If exploited, local and remote users could cause arbitrary commands to run as root. Diable the automountd daemon or apply the temporary fix. Both are listed below. The automountd daemon allows local and remote users to become root. Apply the fixes listed below.
Remote users can execute arbitrary commands as root.
The automountd daemon processes requests from the local AutoFS filesystem kernel extension. It uses local files or name service maps to locate file systems to be mounted. Because the daemon does not verify that requests are actually from the kernel extension, local non-root users and remote users can request automountd services. If the automountd daemon is active, local and remote users can cause arbitrary commands to run as root. Exploits for this problem have been made publicly available.
