>Environment:
All machines which use "amd" with the default /etc/amd.map
>Description:
The default /etc/amd.map has a serious security hole.

/defaults type:=host;fs:=${autodir}/${rhost};rhost:=${key}
* opts:=rw,grpid

If we use this map file, non-privileged user can mount any remote file
systems that the remote machines export. If the remote file system contains
dangerous SetUID excutable files or world-writable device files, the
non-pricileged user can excute or read it. So, he/she can easily get root
authority.
When the "amd" mount point of this map file is "/net", the cracker can
become root, only he/she execute following.
/net/crackers.host.machine/.../setuid-shell
(where crackers.host.machine exports /...)
>How-To-Repeat:
Always.
>Fix:
We should change /etc/amd.map! Following lines are one sample.
=-=-=-=
/defaults type:=host;fs:=${autodir}/${rhost};rhost:=${key}
#my.friend.machine opts:=rw,grpid
* opts:=rw,grpid,nosuid,nodev
=-=-=-=
We should use "nosuid" and "nodev" for "*".
