Fix Recommendation

Configure the "/etc/fstab" to use the "noexec" option on file systems that are associated with removable media.

Check Contents

Verify that OL 9 file systems that are used for removable media are mounted with the "noexec" option with the following command:

$ more /etc/fstab
UUID=2bc871e4-e2a3-4f29-9ece-3be60c835222 /mnt/usbflash vfat noauto,owner,ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
