RHEL-08-010640 - RHEL 8 must prevent special devices on file systems that are imported via Network File System (NFS).
Information
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.See Also
