Description

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a simple file transfer protocol, typically used to automatically transfer configuration or boot files between systems. TFTP does not support authentication and can be easily hacked. The package tftp is a client program that allows for connections to a tftp server.

Rationale

It is recommended that TFTP be removed, unless there is a specific need for TFTP (such as a boot server). In that case, use extreme caution when configuring the services.

Remediation

Shell script

The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.

#!/bin/bash

# CAUTION: This remediation script will remove tftp
#	   from the system, and may remove any packages
#	   that depend on tftp. Execute this
#	   remediation AFTER testing on a non-production
#	   system!

if rpm -q --quiet "tftp" ; then

    yum remove -y "tftp"

fi
