Information

AlmaLinux OS 9 must prevent files with the setuid and setgid bit set from being executed on file systems that are used with removable media.

GROUP ID: V-269283
RULE ID: SV-269283r1050165

The "nosuid" mount option causes the system to not execute "setuid" and "setgid" files with owner privileges. This option must be used for mounting any file system not containing approved "setuid" and "setguid" files. Executing files from untrusted file systems increases the opportunity for nonprivileged users to attain unauthorized administrative access.

Solution

Configure the "/etc/fstab" to use the "nosuid" option on file systems that are associated with removable media.
