1.6 OL09-00-000007

Information

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

GROUP ID: V-271437
RULE ID: SV-271437r1091023

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

Solution

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