Description: The nodev mount option specifies that the filesystem cannot contain special devices. Rationale: Since the /tmp filesystem is not intended to support devices, set this option to ensure that users cannot attempt to create block or character special devices in /tmp . Audit: Verify that the nodev option is set if a /tmp partition exists Run the following command and verify that nothing is returned: # mount | grep -E 's/tmps' | grep -v nodev Notes: If an entry for /tmp exists in /etc/fstab it will take precedence over entries in the tmp.mount file

[yes/no]

Edit the /etc/fstab file and add nodev to the fourth field (mounting options) for the /tmp partition. See the fstab(5) manual page for more information. # mount -o remount, nodev /tmp
