Fix Recommendation

Configure OL 9 to mount /tmp with the nodev option.

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

Check Contents

Verify that OL 9 is configured to mount /tmp with the nodev option.

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

$ mount | grep /tmp
/dev/mapper/ol-tmp on /tmp type xfs (rw,nodev,nosuid,noexec,seclabel)

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