1.297 RHEL-10-700100

Information

RHEL 10 must prevent special devices on file systems that are imported via Network File System (NFS).

GROUP ID: V-281228RULE ID: SV-281228r1166636

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 nonprivileged users to attain unauthorized administrative access.

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 to prevent special devices on file systems that are imported via NFS.

Update each NFS mounted file system to use the "nodev" option on file systems that are being imported via NFS.
