1.108 OL08-00-010630

Information

OL 8 file systems must not execute binary files that are imported via Network File System (NFS).

GROUP ID: V-248624
RULE ID: SV-248624r991589

The "noexec" mount option causes the system not to execute binary files. This option must be used for mounting any file system not containing approved binary as they may be incompatible. Executing files from untrusted file systems increases the opportunity for unprivileged users to attain unauthorized administrative access.

Solution

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