|
|
|
035aa2 |

|
|
|
035aa2 |
+Normally you should only export only the root of a filesystem. The NFS
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+server will also allow you to export a subdirectory of a filesystem,
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+however, this has drawbacks:
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+First, it may be possible for a malicious user to access files on the
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+filesystem outside of the exported subdirectory, by guessing filehandles
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+for those other files. The only way to prevent this is by using the
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+.IR no_subtree_check
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+option, which can cause other problems.
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+Second, export options may not be enforced in the way that you would
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+expect. For example, the
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+.IR security_label
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+option will not work on subdirectory exports, and if nested subdirectory
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+exports change the
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+.IR security_label
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+or
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+.IR sec=
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+options, NFSv4 clients will normally see only the options on the parent
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+export. Also, where security options differ, a malicious client may use
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+filehandle-guessing attacks to access the files from one subdirectory
|
|
|
035aa2 |
+using the options from another.
