z/OS CA Auditor for ACF2 Security Technical Implementation Guide

Version

V7R2

CCIs

CCI-000213

Discussion

CA Auditor can run with sensitive system privileges, and potentially can circumvent system controls. Failure to properly control access to product resources could result in the compromise of the operating system environment, and compromise the confidentiality of customer data. Many utilities assign resource controls that can be granted to systems programmers only in greater than read authority. Resources are also granted to certain non systems personnel with read only authority.

Check Content

Refer to the following report produced by the dataset and Resource Data Collection:

- SENSITVE.RPT(ZADT0020).
- ACF2CMDS.RPT(RESOURCE) - Alternate report.

Automated Analysis
Refer to the following report produced by the dataset and Resource Data Collection:

- PDI(ZADT0020).

Verify that the access to the LTDMMAIN resource in the PROGRAM resource class is restricted. If the following guidance is true, this is not a finding.

The ACF2 rules for the resources specify a default access of NONE.

The ACF2 rules for the resources are restricted access to systems programmers, auditors, and security personnel.

Fix Text

The IOA will verify that the LTDMMAIN resource in the PROGRAM resource class is restricted to systems programmers, auditors, and security personnel.

The ACF2 rules for the resource specify a default access of NONE. There are ACF2 rules defined and only systems programmers, auditors, and security personnel have access.

Example:

SET R(PGM)
$KEY(LTDMMAIN) TYPE(PGM)
 UID(<syspaudt>) ALLOW
 UID(<audtaudt>) ALLOW
 UID(<secaaudt>) ALLOW
 UID(*) PREVENT DATA(SRR FINDING FOR CA AUDITOR)
