For server hardening, sometimes partitions are mounted r/o or with
special flags (eg: noexec, nosuid) in order to make it more difficult
for an attacker to manipulate filesystem objects.

That said, the Fedora incident you mention was likely another "flat
tire" situation rather than anything done in the interest of security.

As far as I know, Fedora has always been an incubator of the bizzare and
unnatural. Trying to pin down any issues on that platform rarely nets
any advantage for anything more than sadistic amusement.
