Vulnerability discussion

Improperly defined IDMS central versions (CVs) have the potential to bypass security controls and obtain unauthorized access to system resources. This could potentially compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the operating system, ACP, and customer data.

Check content

a) Refer to the following report produced by the RACF Data Collection: - RACFCMDS.RPT(PROPCNTL) Refer to the IDMS Worksheet in the z/OS STIG Adendum and copy it and fill out the information for each IDMS CV running on this LPAR. b) Ensure the following items are in effect: - Userids of IDMS CVs that run as a started tasks have a profile defined to the PROPCNTL resource class. - Userids of IDMS CVs that run as a batch jobs have a profile defined to the PROPCNTL resource class. c) If both items in (b) are true, there is NO FINDING. d) If either item in (b) is untrue, this is a FINDING.

Fix text

Propagation control must be implemented for each region/CV to ensure that the CV's userid is not propagated to batch jobs submitted by that region. This is done by defining in the PROPCNTL class profiles whose names match those of each region (CV) assigned userid. The following is an example of the steps necessary to ensure that propagation control is activated for the regions. Do the following for each region/CV userid: • Define a profile to the PROPCNTL class: RDEFINE PROPCNTL UACC(NONE) OWNER(ADMIN) AUDIT(ALL(READ)) For example, if the resource name (IDMS region's userid) is IDMSD, then the command would be as follows: RDEFINE PROPCNTL IDMSD UACC(NONE) OWNER(ADMIN) AUDIT(ALL(READ)) • Ensure that the PROPCNTL class is active: SETROPTS CLASSACT(PROPCNTL) • Ensure that SETROPTS RACLIST processing is active for the PROPCNTL class: SETROPTS RACLIST(PROPCNTL)

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.
