Ensure nodev option set on /home partition

How it is checked

Audit method: Shell command

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

- IF - a separate partition exists for /home. Edit the /etc/fstab file and add nodev to the fourth field (mounting options) for the /home partition. Example: <device> /home <fstype> defaults,rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime 0 0 Run the following command to remount /home with the configured options: # mount -o remount /home
