Fix Recommendation

The "/tmp" directory is a world-writable directory used for temporary file storage. Ensure it has its own partition or logical volume at installation time, or migrate it using LVM.

Check Contents

Run the following command to determine if "/tmp" is on its own partition or logical volume:

$ mount | grep "on /tmp "

If "/tmp" has its own partition or volume group, a line will be returned.
If no line is returned, this is a finding.
