To configure the system to prevent the "cramfs" kernel module from being loaded, add the following line to the file "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" (or create blacklist.conf if it does not exist):
install cramfs /bin/false
blacklist cramfs
Verify TOSS 5 disables the ability to load the "cramfs" kernel module using the following command:
$ sudo grep -r cramfs /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.d/*
blacklist cramfs
If the command does not return any output, or the line is commented out, and use of "cramfs" is not documented with the information system security officer (ISSO) as an operational requirement, this is a finding.
