Fix Recommendation

Modify "/etc/fstab" to use the "nosuid" option on the "/var/log/audit" directory.

Check Contents

Verify "/var/log/audit" is mounted with the "nosuid" option:

$ mount | grep /var/log/audit

/dev/mapper/luks-29b74747-2f82-4472-82f5-0b5eb763effc on /var/log/audit type xfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel,attr2,inode64,logbufs=8,logbsize=32k,noquota)

If the "/var/log/audit" file system is mounted without the "nosuid" option, this is a finding.
