TMA-ROS1-1.1.10
Ensure noexec option set on /var/tmp partition
MediumLevel 1Automatedros
Description
The noexec mount option specifies that the filesystem cannot contain executable binaries. The audit requires the noexec mount option on /var/tmp when it is a separate mount (findmnt); not applicable otherwise. Host-level control from the CIS ROS Melodic benchmark (Ubuntu 18.04 robot hosts); run as root.
How it is checked
Audit method: Shell command
shell
if ! findmnt -kn /var/tmp >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo compliant; elif findmnt -kn -o OPTIONS /var/tmp | tr ',' '\n' | grep -qx -- noexec; then echo compliant; else echo '/var/tmp is mounted without noexec'; fi- Expected output
compliant
How it is fixed
Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch
Edit the /etc/fstab file and add noexec to the fourth field (mounting options) for the /var/tmp partition. See the fstab(5) manual page for more information. Run the following command to remount /var/tmp : # mount -o remount,noexec /var/tmp
