From 04716e6621ff4abb422d64ba7b48718f52716a3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "J. Bruce Fields" Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2008 13:00:20 -0400 Subject: nfsd: permit unauthenticated stat of export root RFC 2623 section 2.3.2 permits the server to bypass gss authentication checks for certain operations that a client may perform when mounting. In the case of a client that doesn't have some form of credentials available to it on boot, this allows it to perform the mount unattended. (Presumably real file access won't be needed until a user with credentials logs in.) Being slightly more lenient allows lots of old clients to access krb5-only exports, with the only loss being a small amount of information leaked about the root directory of the export. This affects only v2 and v3; v4 still requires authentication for all access. Thanks to Peter Staubach testing against a Solaris client, which suggesting addition of v3 getattr, to the list, and to Trond for noting that doing so exposes no additional information.
