SV-28632r1_rule The system must use a separate filesystem for /tmp (or equivalent).

Vulnerability discussion

The use of separate filesystems for different paths can protect the system from failures resulting from a filesystem becoming full or failing.

Check content

Determine if the /tmp path is a separate file system. # grep /tmp /etc/vfstab If no result is returned, /tmp is not on a separate file system, this is a finding. If the returned result indicates that /tmp is mounted on a memory or swap based file system, this is not a finding

Fix text

Migrate the /tmp path onto a separate file system.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
