Ensure /boot Located On Separate Partition
An XCCDF Rule
Description
It is recommended that the /boot directory resides on a separate
partition. This makes it easier to apply restrictions e.g. through the
noexec mount option. Eventually, the /boot partition can
be configured not to be mounted automatically with the noauto mount
option.
Rationale
The /boot partition contains the kernel and bootloader files.
Access to this partition should be restricted.
