Puppet Class: security_baseline::rules::common::sec_freevxfs

Defined in:
manifests/rules/common/sec_freevxfs.pp

Summary

Ensure mounting of freevxfs filesystems is disabled (Scored)

Overview

The freevxfs filesystem type is a free version of the Veritas type filesystem. This is the primary filesystem type for HP-UX operating systems.

Rationale: Removing support for unneeded filesystem types reduces the local attack surface of the system. If this filesystem type is not needed, disable it.

Examples:

class security_baseline::rules::common::sec_freevxfs {
    enforce => true,
    message => 'Test',
    log_level => 'info'
}

Parameters:

  • enforce (Boolean) (defaults to: true) —

    Enforce the rule or just test and log

  • message (String) (defaults to: '') —

    Message to print into the log

  • log_level (String) (defaults to: '') —

    The log_level for the above message
