LPA modules, once loaded into the Link Pack Area, are capable of performing APF-authorized functions. This authorization allows a program to bypass various levels of security checking. Unauthorized access could result in the compromise of the operating system environment, ACP, and customer data.
a) Refer to the following report produced by the Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - SENSITVE.RPT(LPAXRPT) Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - PDI(ACP00070) ___ The ACP data set rules for LPA libraries allow inappropriate access. ___ The ACP data set rules for LPA libraries do not restrict UPDATE and/or ALTER access to only z/OS systems programming personnel. ___ The ACP data set rules for LPA libraries do not specify that all (i.e., failures and successes) UPDATE and/or ALTER access will be logged. b) If all of the above are untrue, there is NO FINDING. c) If any of the above is true, this is a FINDING.
Review access authorization to critical system files. Evaluate the impact of correcting the deficiency. Develop a plan of action and implement the changes required to protect LPA Libraries. The IAO will ensure that update and allocate access to all LPA libraries is limited to system programmers only and all update and allocate access is logged.
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.
