Security Handbook/Mounting partitions

When mounting an ext2, ext3, or reiserfs partition, you have several options you can apply to the file. The options are:


 * - Will ignore the SUID bit and make it just like an ordinary file.
 * - Will prevent execution of files from this partition.
 * - Ignores devices.

Unfortunately, these settings can easily be circumvented by executing a non-direct path. However, setting to   will stop the majority of exploits designed to be executed directly from.
