Vulnerability discussion

The FTP Server can provide audit data in the form of SMF records. The SMF data produced by the FTP Server provides transaction information for both successful and unsuccessful FTP commands. Failure to collect and retain audit data may contribute to the loss of accountability and hamper security audit activities.

Refer to the Data configuration file specified on the SYSFTPD DD statement in the FTP started task JCL. Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the IBM Communications Server Data Collection: - PDI(IFTP0060) Ensure the following configuration statement settings are in effect in the FTP Data configuration data set. If the following guidance is true, this is not a finding. Ensure the following items are in effect for the configuration statements specified in the FTP Data configuration file: ___ The SMF statement is coded with a value of TYPE119. ___ The SMFJES and SMFSQL statements are coded without any additional values. ___ The SMFAPPE, SMFDEL, SMFEXIT, SMFLOGN, SMFREN, SMFRETR, and SMFSTOR statements are not coded or commented out.

SMF record type 119, the TCP/IP Statistics record, can be written with the following subtypes: 70 – Append 70 – Delete and Multiple Delete 72 – Invalid Logon Attempt 70 – Rename 70 – Get (Retrieve) and Multiple Get 70 – Put (Store and Store Unique) and Multiple Put SMF data produced by the FTP Server provides transaction information for both successful and unsuccessful FTP commands. This data may provide valuable information for security audit activities. Type 119 records use a more standard format and provide more information.

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.
