Check: GEN003624
HP-UX 11.31 STIG:
GEN003624
(in versions v1 r19 through v1 r13)
Title
The system must use a separate file system for /tmp (or equivalent). (Cat III impact)
Discussion
The use of separate file systems for different paths can protect the system from failures resulting from a file system becoming full or failing.
Check Content
Determine if the /tmp path is a separate filesystem. # cat /etc/fstab | tr '\011' ' ' | tr -s ' ' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' | \ grep -v "^#" | cut -f 2,2 -d " " | grep "^/tmp" | grep -v "/tmp/" If the above command returns nothing, /tmp is not on a separate filesystem and this is a finding.
Fix Text
Migrate the /tmp path onto a separate file system.
