Description

Ensure the following items for the FACILITY resource class, TYPE(FAC): 1) The ACF2 rules for the BPX resource specify a default access of NONE. Example: $KEY(BPX) TYPE(FAC) - UID() PREVENT 2) There are no ACF2 rules that allow access to the BPX resource.

Fix Text (F-18726r1_fix)

The Systems Programmer and IAO will ensure that BPX. Resources are properly protected and access is restricted to appropriate system tasks or systems programming personnel.

Ensure the following items for the FACILITY resource class, TYPE(FAC):

1) The ACF2 rules for the BPX resource specify a default access of NONE.

Example:

$KEY(BPX) TYPE(FAC)
- UID(*) PREVENT

2) There are no ACF2 rules that allow access to the BPX resource.

Example:

$KEY(BPX) TYPE(FAC)
- UID(*) PREVENT

3) There is no ACF2 rule for BPX.SAFFASTPATH defined.

Example:

$KEY(BPX) TYPE(FAC)
SAFFASTPATH UID(*) PREVENT

4) The ACF2 rules for each of the BPX resources listed in the General Facility Class BPX Resources Table, in the zOS STIG Addendum, specify a default access of NONE.

Example:

$KEY(BPX) TYPE(FAC)
DAEMON UID(*) PREVENT
DEBUG UID(*) PREVENT
FILEATTR.APF UID(*) PREVENT
FILEATTR.PROGCTL UID(*) PREVENT
JOBNAME UID(*) PREVENT
SAFFASTPATH UID(*) PREVENT
SERVER UID(*) PREVENT
SMF UID(*) PREVENT
STOR.SWAP UID(*) PREVENT
SUPERUSER UID(*) PREVENT
WLMSERVER UID(*) PREVENT

5) The ACF2 rules for each of the BPX resources listed in the General Facility Class BPX Resources Table, in the zOS STIG Addendum, restrict access to appropriate system tasks or systems programming personnel as specified.

Example:

$KEY(BPX) TYPE(FAC)
DAEMON UID(*******STC******FTPD) SERVICE(READ) LOG
DAEMON UID(*******STC******INETD) SERVICE(READ) LOG
DAEMON UID(*******STC******NAMED) SERVICE(READ) LOG
DAEMON UID(*******STC******OMVSKERN) SERVICE(READ) LOG
DAEMON UID(*******STC******OMVS) SERVICE(READ) LOG
DAEMON UID(*******STC******OROUTED) SERVICE(READ) LOG
DAEMON UID(*******STC******OSNMPD) SERVICE(READ) LOG
