Findings - All

Finding ID	Severity	Title	Description
V-224522	Medium	IBM Tivoli NetView Started task(s) must be properly defined to the STARTED resource class for RACF.	Access to product resources should be restricted to only those individuals responsible for the application connectivity and who have a requirement to access these resources. Improper control of product resources could potentially compromise the operating system, ACP, and customer data.
V-224521	Medium	NetView Started Task name(s) is not properly identified / defined to the system ACP.	NetView requires a started task(s) that will be restricted to certain resources, datasets and other system functions. 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,...
V-224520	Medium	NetView resources must be properly defined and protected.	NetView can run with sensitive system privileges, and potentially can circumvent system controls. Failure to properly control access to product resources could result in the compromise of the operating system environment, and compromise the confidentiality of customer data. Many utilities assign resource controls that can be granted to systems programmers...
V-224519	Medium	NetView STC data sets are not properly protected.	NetView STC data sets provide the capability to use privileged functions and/or have access to sensitive data. Failure to properly restrict access to their data sets could result in violating the integrity of the base product which could result in compromising the operating system or sensitive data.
V-224518	Medium	NetView install data sets are not properly protected.	NetView Install data sets provide the capability to use privileged functions and/or have access to sensitive data. Failure to properly restrict access to their data sets could result in violating the integrity of the base product which could result in compromising the operating system or sensitive data.
V-224517	Medium	NetView configuration/parameter values must be specified properly.	NetView configuration/parameters control the security and operational characteristics of products. If these parameter values are improperly specified, security and operational controls may be weakened. This exposure may threaten the availability of the product applications, and compromise the confidentiality of customer data.
