Disable Mounting of hfsplus Filesystems (Not Scored)
The hfsplus filesystem type is a hierarchical filesystem designed to replace hfs that allows you to mount Mac OS filesystems.
Parameter:
[enable/disable]
Technical Mechanism:
Removing support for unneeded filesystem types reduces the local attack surface of the server. If this filesystem type is not needed, disable it.
Fix:
Edit or create the file /etc/modprobe.d/CIS.conf and add the following line:
# install hfsplus /bin/true
