Information

SUSE operating system file systems that are used with removable media must be mounted to prevent files with the setuid and setgid bit set from being executed.

GROUP ID: V-234999
RULE ID: SV-234999r991589

The "nosuid" mount option causes the system to not execute "setuid" and "setgid" files with owner privileges. This option must be used for mounting any file system not containing approved "setuid" and "setguid" files. Executing files from untrusted file systems increases the opportunity for unprivileged users to attain unauthorized administrative access.

Solution

Configure the SUSE operating system "/etc/fstab" file to use the "nosuid" option on file systems that are associated with removable media.
