Fix Recommendation

Configure the "/etc/fstab" to use the "nodev" option on file systems that are associated with removable media.

Check Contents

Verify that file systems used for removable media are mounted with the "nodev" option with the following command:

$ sudo more /etc/fstab

UUID=2bc871e4-e2a3-4f29-9ece-3be60c835222 /mnt/usbflash vfat noauto,owner,ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0

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