1.1.2.10.1 Ensure file systems that are being NFS-imported are mounted with the "nodev" option

Information

The operating system must prevent special devices on file systems that are imported via Network File System (NFS).

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.
