Disable Mounting of udf

An XCCDF Rule

Description

To configure the system to prevent the udf kernel module from being loaded, add the following line to the file /etc/modprobe.d/udf.conf:

install udf /bin/true

To configure the system to prevent the udf from being used, add the following line to file /etc/modprobe.d/udf.conf:

blacklist udf

This effectively prevents usage of this uncommon filesystem. The udf filesystem type is the universal disk format used to implement the ISO/IEC 13346 and ECMA-167 specifications. This is an open vendor filesystem type for data storage on a broad range of media. This filesystem type is neccessary to support writing DVDs and newer optical disc formats.

Rationale

Removing support for unneeded filesystem types reduces the local attack surface of the system.
