Fix Recommendation

Configure the "/etc/fstab" to use the "noexec" option on file systems that are being imported via NFS.

Check Contents

Verify file systems that are being NFS imported are configured with the "noexec" option.

Find the file system(s) that contain the directories being imported with the following command:

# more /etc/fstab | grep nfs

UUID=e06097bb-cfcd-437b-9e4d-a691f5662a7d /store nfs rw,noexec 0 0

If a file system found in "/etc/fstab" refers to NFS and it does not have the "noexec" option set, and use of NFS imported binaries is not documented with the Information System Security Officer (ISSO) as an operational requirement, this is a finding.

Verify the NFS is mounted with the "noexec"option:

# mount | grep nfs | grep noexec
If no results are returned and use of NFS imported binaries is not documented with the Information System Security Officer (ISSO) as an operational requirement, this is a finding.
