Fix Recommendation

Configure RHEL 10 to mount "/var/log/audit" with the "nosuid" option.

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

Check Contents

Verify RHEL 10 is configured so that "/var/log/audit" is mounted with the "nosuid" option:

$ mount | grep /var/log/audit
/dev/mapper/luks-4e45e1ad-5337-42c4-a19f-ee12ccc1d502 on /var/log/audit type xfs (rw,nodev,nosuid,noexec,seclabel)
