Assessment Title
Rule Text
Removable media, remote file systems, and any file system that does not contain approved device files must be mounted with the nodev option.
Description
Discussion Text
The "nodev" (or equivalent) mount option causes the system to not handle device files as system devices. This option must be used for mounting any file system that does not contain approved device files. Device files can provide direct access to system hardware and can compromise security if not protected.
