The cramfs filesystem type is a compressed read-only Linux filesystem embedded in small footprint systems. A cramfs image can be used without having to first decompress the image.
Options Explained:
disable - would disable the module.
disable with error logged - would disable the module and log whenever module is inserted.
enable - would enable the module.
Rationale:
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/cramfs.conf and add the following line:
install cramfs /bin/true
Parameter:
[disable/disable with error logged/enable]
Technical Mechanism:
Edit or create the file /etc/modprobe.d/cramfs.conf and add the following line:
install cramfs /bin/true
