Title: Ensure nodev option set on /var/log/audit partition Description: The nodev mount option specifies that the filesystem cannot contain special devices. Rationale: Since the /var/log/audit filesystem is not intended to support devices, set this option to ensure that users cannot create a block or character special devices in /var/log/audit . Audit: Verify that the nodev option is set for the /var/log/audit mount. Run the following command to verify that the nodev mount option is set. Example: # findmnt --kernel /var/log/audit | grep nodev /var/log/audit /dev/sdb ext4 rw,nosuid,n odev,noexec,relatime,seclabel Remediation: Edit the /etc/fstab file and add nodev to the fourth field (mounting options) for the /var/log/audit partition. Example: <device> /var/log/audit <fstype> defaults,rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0 Run the following command to remount /var/log/audit with the configured options: # mount -o remount /var/log/audit
