====== Systems - Media Server - Secure the Server - Disable core dump ======

Core dumps can contain information that an attacker might be able to exploit and they take up a large amount of disk space.

To prevent the system creating core dumps when the operating system terminates a program due to a segment violation or other unexpected error, add the following line to **/etc/security/limits.conf**:

<file bash /etc/security/limits.conf>
...
*  hard  core  0
</file>
