1.4 OL09-00-000004

Information

OL 9 must use a separate file system for /tmp.

GROUP ID: V-271434
RULE ID: SV-271434r1091014

The "/tmp" partition is used as temporary storage by many programs. Placing "/tmp" in its own partition enables the setting of more restrictive mount options, which can help protect programs that use it.

Solution

Migrate the "/tmp" path onto a separate file system.
