1.109 OL08-00-010640

Information

OL 8 file systems must not interpret character or block special devices that are imported via NFS.

GROUP ID: V-248625
RULE ID: SV-248625r991589

The "nodev" mount option causes the system to not interpret character or block special devices. Executing character or block special devices from untrusted file systems increases the opportunity for unprivileged users to attain unauthorized administrative access.

Solution

Configure the "/etc/fstab" to use the "nodev" option on file systems that are being imported via NFS.
