Disable Mounting of udf Filesystems (Not Scored)
The udf filesystem type is the universal disk format used to implement ISO/IEC 13346 and ECMA-167 specifications. This is an open vendor filesystem type for data storage on a broad range of media. This filesystem type is necessary to support writing DVDs and newer optical disc formats.
Parameter:
[enable/disable]
Technical Mechanism:
Removing support for unneeded filesystem types reduces the local attack surface of the server. If this filesystem type is not needed, disable it.
Fix:
Edit or create the file /etc/modprobe.d/CIS.conf and add the following line:
# install udf /bin/true
