2.1022 - The system must mount /dev/shm with the nodev option. - fstab

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 system so that /dev/shm is mounted with the 'nodev' option.
