Vulnerability discussion

Specific PPT designated program modules possess significant security bypass capabilities. 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(PPTXRPT) Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - PDI(ACP00100) ___ The ACP data set rules for libraries that contain PPT modules allow inappropriate access. ___ The ACP data set rules for libraries that contain PPT modules do not restrict UPDATE and ALLOCATE access to only z/OS systems programming personnel. ___ The ACP data set rules for libraries that contain PPT modules do not specify that all UPDATE and ALLOCATE 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.

Fix text

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 libraries containing modules listed in the Program Properties Table (PPT). The IAO will ensure that update and allocate access to libraries containing PPT modules is limited to system programmers only and all update and allocate 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.
