Hackers can use your tmp folder to upload and execute their own scripts, this can easily be solved by creating an empty filesystem on your server that does not have execute permissions
heres how:
cd /root
Create 500MB file for our /tmp partition. If you need more space, make count size larger.
dd if=/dev/zero of=tmpMnt bs=1024 count=500000
Make an extended filesystem for our tmpMnt file
/sbin/mke2fs /root/tmpMnt
Mount the new /tmp filesystem with noexec
mount -o loop,noexec,nosuid,rw /root/tmpMnt /tmp
chmod 1777 /tmp
Now we need to add this to fstab so it mounts automatically on reboots.
