Ensure nodev option set on /home partition

MediumLevel 1Automatedlinux

Description

The nodev mount option specifies that the filesystem cannot contain special devices.

How it is checked

Audit method: Shell command

shell
if ! findmnt -kn /home >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo compliant; elif findmnt -kn /home | grep -qw -- nodev; then echo compliant; else echo /home' is mounted without nodev'; fi
Expected output
compliant

How it is fixed

Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch

Edit the /etc/fstab file and add nodev to the fourth field (mounting options) for the /home partition. See the fstab(5) manual page for more information. # mount -o remount,nodev /home
