JESSPOOL resources are improperly protected.

From z/OS TSS STIG

Part of ZJES0041

Associated with: CCI-000213

SV-7333r2_rule JESSPOOL resources are improperly protected.

Vulnerability discussion

JES2 spool resources include all SYSOUT, SYSLOG, JESTRACE, and JESNEWS data sets. Failure to properly control JES2 spool resources could result in unauthorized personnel accessing job output, system activity logs, and trace data containing userid and password information. This exposure may threaten the integrity and availability of the operating system environment, and compromise the confidentiality of customer data.

a) Refer to the following reports produced by the TSS Data Collection: - TSSCMDS.RPT(WHOOJESS) Refer to the following report produced by the z/OS Data Collection: - PARMLIB(JES2 parameters) Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - PDI(ZJES0041) b) Ensure that the resource localnodeid. is owned in the JESSPOOL class. NOTE : Review the JES2 parameters to determine the localnodeid by searching for OWNNODE in the NJEDEF statement, and then searching for NODE(nnnn) (where nnnn is the value specified by OWNNODE). The NAME parameter value specified on this NODE statement is the localnodeid. c) If (b) above is true, there is NO FINDING. d) If (b) above is untrue, this is a FINDING.

Due to the protection established with the previous command, the following command should be issued to ensure users are able to access their own spool data: TSS PERMIT(ALL) JESSPOOL(localnodeid.%) ACCESS(ALL)

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.
