SV-7355r4_rule DFSMS resources must be protected in accordance with the proper security requirements.

Vulnerability discussion

DFSMS provides data, storage, program, and device management functions for the operating system. Some DFSMS storage administration functions allow a user to obtain a privileged status and effectively bypass all ACP data set and volume controls. Failure to properly protect DFSMS resources may result in unauthorized access. This exposure could compromise the availability and integrity of the operating system environment, system services, and customer data.

The IAO will work with the systems programmer to verify that the following are properly specified in the ACP. (Note: The resources and/or resource prefixes identified below are examples of a possible installation. The actual resource type, resources, and/or resource prefixes are determined when the product is actually installed on a system through the product’s installation guide and can be site specific.) Below is listed the access requirements for SMS Resources. Ensure the guidelines for the resources and/or generic equivalent are followed. The RACF resources are defined with a default access of NONE. The RACF resource rules for the resources specify UACC(NONE) and NOWARNING. Ensure that no access is given to the high-level STGADMIN resource. Example: RDEF FACILITY STGADMIN.** OWNER(ADMIN) - UACC(NONE) AUDIT(ALL(READ)) Ensure no access is given to resource STGADMIN.IGG.CATALOG.SECURITY.CHANGE. Example: RDEF FACILITY STGADMIN.IGG.CATALOG.SECURITY.CHANGE OWNER(ADMIN) – UACC(NONE) AUDIT(ALL(READ)) The STGADMIN.DPDSRN.olddsname is restricted to System Programmers and all access is logged.

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.
