The jffs2 (journaling flash filesystem 2) filesystem type is a log-structured filesystem used in flash memory devices.
Rationale:
Removing support for unneeded filesystem types reduces the local attack surface of the server. If this filesystem type is not needed, disable it.
Parameter:
[disable/disable with error logged/enable]
Technical Mechanism:
Edit or create the file /etc/modprobe.d/jffs2.conf and add the following line:
install jffs2 /bin/true
