Add nodev Option to Non-Root Local Partitions
Medium Severity
The
nodev
mount option prevents files from being interpreted as character or block devices. Legitimate character and block devices should exist only in the
/dev
directory on the root partition or within chroot jails built for system services. Add the
nodev
option to the list of
Options
in the
systemd.mount
unit that controls mounting of any non-root local partitions.
