Add nodev Option to /var/log
An XCCDF Rule
Description
The nodev mount option can be used to prevent device files from
being created in /var/log.
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
/var/log.
Rationale
The only legitimate location for device files is the /dev directory
located on the root partition. The only exception to this is chroot jails.
