DFSMS resources must be protected in accordance with the proper security requirements.
Overview
| Finding ID | Version | Rule ID | IA Controls | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| V-31 | ZSMS0010 | SV-7355r5_rule | Medium |
| Description |
|---|
| DFSMS provides data, storage, program, and device management functions for the operating system. Some DFSMS storage administration functions allow a user to obtain a privileged status and effectively bypass all ACP data set and volume controls. Failure to properly protect DFSMS resources may result in unauthorized access. This exposure could compromise the availability and integrity of the operating system environment, system services, and customer data. |

| Refer to the following report produced by the Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - SENSITVE.RPT(ZSMS0010) Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - PDI(ZSMS0010) Ensure that all SMS resources and/or generic equivalent are properly protected according to the requirements specified. If the following guidance is true, this is not a finding. ___ The STGADMIN.** profile in the FACILITY resource class has a default access of NONE and no access is granted at this level. ___ STGADMIN.DPDSRN.olddsname is restricted to System Programmers and all access is logged. ___ The STGADMIN.IGD.ACTIVATE.CONFIGURATION is restricted to System Programmers and all access is logged. ___ The STGADMIN.IGG.DEFDEL.UALIAS is restricted to Centralized and Decentralized Security personnel and System Programmers and all access is logged. ___ To avoid authorization failures once a base cluster is accessed via a PATH or AIX by a user or application that has authority to the PATH and AIX, but not the base cluster, APAR OA50118 must be applied. The resource STGADMIN.IGG.CATALOG.SECURITY.CHANGE is defined with access of NONE The resource STGADMIN.IGG.CATALOG.SECURITY.BOTH is defined with access of READ Note: the resource STGADMIN.IGG.CATALOG.SECURITY.CHANGE can be defined with read access for migration purposes. If it is, a detailed migration plan must be documented and filed by the ISSM that determines a definite migration period. All access must be logged. At the completion of migration this resource must be configured with access = NONE. If the resource STGADMIN.IGG.CATALOG.SECURITY.CHANGE and STGADMIN.IGG.CATALOG.SECURITY.BOTH are both defined, STGADMIN.IGG.CATALOG.SECURITY.BOTH takes precedence. ___ The following resources and prefixes may be available to the end-user.

| Ensure that the following are properly specified in the ACP. (Note: The resources and/or resource prefixes identified below are examples of a possible installation. The actual resource type, resources, and/or resource prefixes are determined when the product is actually installed on a system through the product’s installation guide and can be site specific.) Below is listed the access requirements for SMS Resources. Ensure the guidelines for the resources and/or generic equivalent are followed. The RACF resources are defined with a default access of NONE. The RACF resource rules for the resources specify UACC(NONE) and NOWARNING. Ensure that no access is given to the high-level STGADMIN resource. Example: RDEF FACILITY STGADMIN.** OWNER(ADMIN) - UACC(NONE) AUDIT(ALL(READ)) Configure STGADMIN.IGG.CATALOG.SECURITY.CHANGE to have no access. Example: RDEF FACILITY STGADMIN.IGG.CATALOG.SECURITY.CHANGE OWNER(ADMIN) – UACC(NONE) AUDIT(ALL(READ)) Configure STGADMIN.IGG.CATALOG.SECURITY.BOTH resource to have READ for all.
