The nosuid mount option specifies that the filesystem cannot contain setuid files.
Rationale:
Since the /tmp filesystem is only intended for temporary file storage, set this option to ensure that users cannot create setuid files in /tmp.
Fix:
Run the following command to remount /tmp:
# mount -o remount,nosuid /tmp
Also the content shown by following command should present in /etc/fstab appropriately:
# echo "$(grep /dev/shm /etc/mtab)"
Parameter:
[yes/no]
Technical Mechanism:
Run the following command to remount /tmp:
# mount -o remount,nosuid /tmp
