Fix Recommendation

Modify "/etc/fstab" to use the "nodev" option on the "/var" directory.

Check Contents

Verify "/var" is mounted with the "nodev" option:

$ mount | grep ' /var '

/dev/mapper/luks-b23d8276-7844-4e79-8a58-505150b6eb42 on /var type xfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel,attr2,inode64,logbufs=8,logbsize=32k,noquota)

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