Description
Protection of DBMS data, transaction and audit data files stored by the host operating system is dependent on OS controls. When different applications share the same database process, resource contention and differing security controls may be required to isolate and protect one application's data and audit logs from another. DBMS software libraries and configuration files also require differing access control lists.

Check Text ( C-62845r1_chk )
Review the disk/directory specification where database data, transaction log and audit files are stored. If DBMS data, transaction or audit data files are stored in the same directory, this is a finding. If separation of data, transaction and audit data is not supported by the DBMS, this check is not a finding. If stored separately and access permissions for each directory is the same, this is a finding.
