noexec option in fstab problem
GrjozsApr 5 2013 — edited May 2 2013Hello!
In order to prevent potentially providing storage space for malicious executables, I added the noexec option to /tmp directory in file /etc/fstab
The problem is, that now it prevents me from installing stuff myself for example when trying to execute .bin, it's extracted into /tmp and when the contained installation file is being executed, i get a Permission denied error.
Does anyone have a suggestion how to keep my system safe and not to stumble on such problem? Can I change the extraction point of current .bin or something like that, or should I just remove the option from fstab?
Thanks,
Pavels
