Title

RHEL 10 must prevent special devices on file systems that are imported via Network File System (NFS).

Control

Note: If no NFS mounts are configured, this requirement is not applicable. Verify RHEL 10 has the "nodev" option configured for all NFS mounts with the following command: $ sudo grep nfs /etc/fstab 192.168.22.2:/mnt/export /data nfs4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,sync,soft,sec=krb5:krb5i:krb5p If the system is mounting file systems via NFS and the "nodev" option is missing, this is a finding.

Discussion

The "nodev" mount option causes the system to not interpret character or block special devices. Executing character or block special devices from untrusted file systems increases the opportunity for nonprivileged users to attain unauthorized administrative access.

Fix

Configure RHEL 10 to prevent special devices on file systems that are imported via NFS. Update each NFS mounted file system to use the "nodev" option on file systems that are being imported via NFS.
