AlmaLinux OS 9 must prevent code execution on file systems that are imported via Network File System (NFS).
An XCCDF Rule
Description
The "noexec" mount option causes the system to not execute binary files. This option must be used for mounting any file system not containing approved binary as they may be incompatible. Executing files from untrusted file systems increases the opportunity for nonprivileged users to attain unauthorized administrative access.
