Fix Recommendation

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

Check Contents

Note: If no NFS mounts are configured, this requirement is Not Applicable.

Verify file systems being imported via NFS are mounted with the "noexec" option with the following command:

$ sudo grep nfs /etc/fstab | grep noexec

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

If a file system found in "/etc/fstab" refers to NFS and it does not have the "noexec" option set, this is a finding.
