Fix Recommendation

Modify "/etc/fstab" to use the "noexec" option on the "/tmp" directory.

Check Contents

Verify "/tmp" is mounted with the "noexec" option:

$ mount | grep ' /tmp'

tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel,size=2097152k,inode64)

If the "/tmp" file system is mounted without the "noexec" option, this is a finding.
