Fix Recommendation

Configure SLEM 5 "/etc/fstab" file to use the "noexec" option on file systems that are being exported via NFS.

Check Contents

Verify SLEM 5 file systems that are being NFS exported are mounted with the "noexec" option with the following command:

> grep nfs /etc/fstab
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 exported binaries is not documented with the information system security officer (ISSO) as an operational requirement, this is a finding.
