Ensure nosuid option set on /var/tmp partition

MediumLevel 1Automatedros

Description

The nosuid mount option specifies that the filesystem cannot contain setuid files. The audit requires the nosuid 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 -- nosuid; then echo compliant; else echo '/var/tmp is mounted without nosuid'; fi
Expected output
compliant

How it is fixed

Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch

Edit the /etc/fstab file and add nosuid 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,nosuid /var/tmp
