Add nodev Option to /var/log/audit

Description
The nodev mount option can be used to prevent device files from
being created in /var/log/audit.
Legitimate character and block devices should exist only in
the /dev directory on the root partition or within chroot
jails built for system services.
Add the nodev option to the fourth column of
/etc/fstab for the line which controls mounting of
/var/log/audit.
Rationale
The only legitimate location for device files is the /dev directory
located on the root partition. The only exception to this is chroot jails.
Shell script
The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.
#!/bin/bash
# Remediation is applicable only in certain platforms
if ( ! ( { rpm --quiet -q kernel ;} && { rpm --quiet -q rpm-ostree ;} && { rpm --quiet -q bootc ;} ) && ! ( [ -f /.dockerenv ] || [ -f /run/.containerenv ] ) ) && { findmnt --kernel "/var/log/audit" > /dev/null || findmnt --fstab "/var/log/audit" > /dev/null; }; then
function perform_remediation {
# the mount point /var/log/audit has to be defined in /etc/fstab
# before this remediation can be executed. In case it is not defined, the
# remediation aborts and no changes regarding the mount point are done.
mount_point_match_regexp="$(printf "^[[:space:]]*[^#].*[[:space:]]%s[[:space:]]" "/var/log/audit")"
grep "$mount_point_match_regexp" -q /etc/fstab \

mount_point_match_regexp="$(printf "^[[:space:]]*[^#].*[[:space:]]%s[[:space:]]" /var/log/audit)"
# If the mount point is not in /etc/fstab, get previous mount options from /etc/mtab

# If the mount_opt option is not already in the mount point's /etc/fstab entry, add it

Ansible playbook
The following playbook can be run with Ansible to remediate the issue.
