| Description |
|---|
| The "/tmp" partition is used as temporary storage by many programs. Placing "/tmp" in its own partition enables the setting of more restrictive mount options, which can help protect programs that use it. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Verify that a separate file system/partition has been created for "/tmp" with the following command: $ mount | grep ' /tmp ' tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,seclabel,size=2097152k,inode64) If a separate entry for "/tmp" is not in use, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Migrate the "/tmp" path onto a separate file system. |
