WebSphere MQ resources allow for the control of administrator functions, connections, commands, queues, processes, and namelists. Some resources provide the ability to disable or bypass security checking. Failure to properly protect WebSphere MQ resources may result in unauthorized access. This exposure could compromise the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of system services, applications, and customer data.
a) Refer to the following report produced by the ACF2 Data Collection: - SENSITVE.RPT(MQNLIST) - ACF2CMDS.RPT(RESOURCE) – Alternate report b) For all namelist resources (i.e., ssid.namelist) defined to TYPE(MQN) (i.e., MQNLIST resource class), ensure access authorization restricts access to users requiring the ability to make namelist inquiries. This is difficult to determine. However, an item for concern may be a profile with * READ specified in the access list. NOTE: ssid is the queue manager name (a.k.a., subsystem identifier). c) If (b) is true, there is NO FINDING. d) If (b) is untrue, this is a FINDING.
The IAO will ensure that all MQSeries/WebSphere MQ namelist resources are restricted to authorized users. For all namelist resources (i.e., ssid.namelist) defined to TYPE(MQN) (i.e., MQNLIST resource class), ensure access authorization restricts access to users requiring the ability to make namelist inquiries. This is difficult to determine. However, an item for concern may be a profile with * READ specified in the access list. NOTE: ssid is the queue manager name (a.k.a., subsystem identifier). Example: $KEY(QZN1) TYPE(MQN) SYSTEM.DEFAULT.NAMELIST UID(MQAdministrators) SERVICE(READ) LOG SYSTEM.DEFAULT.NAMELIST UID(*) PREVENT
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:
