Ensure /tmp Located On Separate Partition
An XCCDF Rule
Description
The /tmp
directory is a world-writable directory used
for temporary file storage. Ensure it has its own partition or
logical volume at installation time, or migrate it using LVM.
Rationale
The /tmp
partition is used as temporary storage by many programs.
Placing /tmp
in its own partition enables the setting of more
restrictive mount options, which can help protect programs which use it.
