By defining the started task as a userid to the system ACP, It allows the ACP to control the access and authorized users that require these capabilities. Failure to properly control these capabilities, could compromise of the operating system environment, ACP, and customer data.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility>Information Assurance Officer</Responsibility><IAControls>ECCD-1, ECCD-2</IAControls>DPMS Target IBM CSSMTPDISA FSODPMS TargetIBM CSSMTP2091CCI-000764The IBM CSSMTP system programmer and the IAO will ensure that a product's Started Task(s) is properly identified and/or defined to the System ACP.
