Fix Recommendation

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

Check Contents

Verify "/var/tmp" is mounted with the "nosuid" option:

$ mount | grep /var/tmp

/dev/mapper/luks-0e7206e7-bfb1-4a23-ae14-b9cea7cf76d5 on /var/tmp type xfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel,attr2,inode64,logbufs=8,logbsize=32k,noquota)

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