Description

The nfs-kernel-server package can be removed with the following command:


$ apt-get remove nfs-kernel-server

Rationale

If the system does not export NFS shares or act as an NFS client, it is recommended that these services be removed to reduce the remote attack surface.

Remediation

#	   from the system, and may remove any packages

#	   remediation AFTER testing on a non-production
#	   system!
