Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-3896 ZSMS0030 SV-3896r2_rule DCCS-1 DCCS-2 Low
Description
Configuration properties of DFSMS are specified in various members of the system parmlib concatenation (e.g., SYS1.PARMLIB). Statements within these PDS members provide the execution, operational, and configuration characteristics of the system-managed storage environment. Missing or inappropriate configuration values may result in undesirable operations and degraded security. This exposure could potentially compromise the availability and integrity of some system services and customer data.
