Discussion

The "nodev" (or equivalent) mount option causes the system to not handle device files as system devices. This option must be used for mounting any file system not containing approved device files. Device files can provide direct access to system hardware and can compromise security if not protected.

Check /etc/fstab and verify the "nodev" mount option is used on any filesystems mounted from removable media or network shares. If any filesystem mounted from removable media or network shares does not have this option, this is a finding.
