Slackware · Slackware · CVE-2003-0335
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Slackware version 9.0
Description:
The issue arises from the `rc.M` script in Slackware, which calls `quotacheck` with the `-M` option. This causes the filesystem to be remounted, potentially resetting security-relevant mount flags such as `nosuid`, `nodev`, and `noexec`.
Recommendations:
For Slackware version 9.0, consider modifying the `rc.M` script to avoid calling `quotacheck` with the `-M` option, or find an alternative method to preserve the security-relevant mount flags during the filesystem remount process.
