Findings - All

Finding ID	Severity	Title	Description
V-225586	Medium	NetView is not properly defined to the Facility Matrix Table for Top Secret.	Improperly defined security controls for the Product could result in the compromise of the network, operating system, and customer data.
V-225585	Medium	IBM Tivoli NetView Started task(s) must be properly defined to the Started Task Table ACID for Top Secret.	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-225584	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-225583	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-225582	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-225581	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 these data sets could result in violating the integrity of the base product which could result in compromising the operating system or sensitive data.
V-225580	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.
