Vulnerability discussion

The system-wide options control the default settings for determining how the ACP will function when handling requests for access to the operating system environment, ACP, and customer data. The ACP provides the ability to set a number of these fields at the subsystem level. If no setting is found, the system-wide defaults will be used. The improper setting of any one of these fields, individually or in combination with another, can compromise the security of the processing environment. In addition, failure to establish standardized settings for the ACP control options introduces the possibility of exposure during a migration process or contingency plan activation.

a) Refer to the following report produced by the ACF2 Data Collection: - ACF2CMDS.RPT(ACFGSO) Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the ACF2 Data Collection: - PDI(ACF0290) b) If the GSO BLPPGM record is not defined, there is NO FINDING. c) If the GSO BLPPGM record is defined, this is a FINDING. NOTE: BLP enforcement will be done based on LID record settings.

Fix text

The IAO will ensure the BLPPGM GSO value indicates that ACF2 does not control the programs authorized to use tape bypass label processing (BLP). NOTE: BLP enforcement will be done based on LID record settings. Example: SET C(GSO) LIST BLPPGM ACF0A005 RECORD(S) NOT FOUND

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
