Description Sachin Raje 2018-12-06 15:39:30 UTC
3.3.3. Partition Mounting Weakness (unix-partition-mounting-weakness)

Description:

One or more of the system's partitions are mounted without certain hardening options enabled. While this is not a definite vulnerability
on its own, system security may be improved by employing hardening techniques.

Vulnerability Solution:
The specific way to modify the partition mount options varies from system to system. Consult your operating system's manual or mount
man page.


This is detected for both RHVM and RHVH version 4.2

Moving to 4.3.2 not being identified as blocker for 4.3.1

Comment 15 Sandro Bonazzola 2019-02-26 09:25:53 UTC
This should be ok after applying DISA STIG profile to RHV-H.

Comment 16 Qin Yuan 2019-03-04 10:01:34 UTC
The DISA STIG profile only adds 'nosuid' option to /home, no other options for other partitions. So only applying DISA STIG profile while installing RHVH probably can't got this bug solved.

Re-targeting to 4.3.5 being more than STIG which we are currently targeting.

Comment 19 Sandro Bonazzola 2019-04-01 13:16:10 UTC
RHV-H has no multiple users and if you can access the host having already root user there's no non-root privileged users that can leverage those mount options weakness.
That said, we are now STIG compliant so the suggestion here is to deploy RHV-H with STIG profile.
