V-167 ACF0670 SV-167r2_rule DCCS-1 DCCS-2 Low
Description
LOGONIDs could be intentionally created that correspond to the GSO MAINT records. Then the maintenance programs could be used to gain unauthorized access to the system. This could result in the compromise of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the operating system, ACP, and customer data.
