Nodev, nosuid, noexec on mountpoints Linux OS Exadata VM

edited Aug 23, 2021 12:54PM in Exadata General (MOSC) Question

My company demands that all Linux machines are CIS compliant.

However I have some questions regarding the following change to the partitions on multiple Linux Exadata machines:

Mountpoint:

/tmp

nodev, nosuid, noexec

/home

nodev

/var/tmp

nosuid, nodev, noexec

/var/log/audit

nodev, nosuid, noexec

/var/log

nosuid, noexec

Would scripts/commands from Oracle still function when applying the above parameters?

I have asked the same question to the DBA'er here, with the help of a test machine we couldn't find any problems so far, however we can't be 100% certain

I can't find clear information / best practices on the Oracle website what is allowed of advisable on partitions regarding parameters
