Description:
CA Auditor installation data sets have the ability 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.Information Assurance OfficerSystems ProgrammerDCSL-1, ECAR-1, ECAR-2, ECCD-1, ECCD-2

Fix:
The IAO will ensure that update and allocate access to CA Auditor installation data sets is limited to System Programmers only, and all update and allocate access is logged. Read access can be given to auditors, security administrators, and/or CA Auditor’s STCs and batch users. The installing Systems Programmer will identify and document the product data sets and categorize them according to who will have update and alter access and if required that all update and allocate access is logged. He will identify if any additional groups have update and/or alter access for specific data sets, and once documented he will work with the IAO to see that they are properly restricted to the ACP (Access Control Program) active on the system. Data sets to be protected will be: SYS2.EXAMINE SYS2A.EXAMINE The following commands are provided as a sample for implementing data set controls: $KEY(SYS2) EXAMINE.- UID(<syspaudt>) R(A) W(L) A(L) E(A) EXAMINE.- UID(<audtaudt>) R(A) E(A) EXAMINE.- UID(<secaaudt>) R(A) E(A) EXAMINE.- UID(EXAMMON) R(A) E(A) $KEY(SYS2A) EXAMINE.- UID(<syspaudt>) R(A) W(L) A(L) E(A) EXAMINE.- UID(<audtaudt>) R(A) E(A) EXAMINE.- UID(<secaaudt>) R(A) E(A) EXAMINE.- UID(EXAMMON) R(A) E(A)

Description:
CA Auditor 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 system programmers only in greater than read authority. Resources are also granted to certain non systems personnel with read only authority.Information Assurance OfficerSystems ProgrammerECCD-1, ECCD-2

The IOA will verify that the LTDMMAIN resource in the PROGRAM resource class is restricted to system programmers, auditors, and security personnel. The ACF2 rules for the resource specify a default access of NONE. There are ACF2 rules defined and only system programmers, auditors, and security personnel have access.
