The IAO will ensure that update and allocate/create access to program product data sets is limited to System Programmers only, and all update and allocate/create access is logged. Security Personnel and Auditors should have read access. The installing Systems Programmer will identify and document the product data sets and categorize them according to who will have update and allocate/create access and if required that all update and allocate/create access is logged. He will identify if any additional groups have update 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.ROSCOE SYS2A.ROSCOE SYS3.ROSCOE SYS3A.ROSCOE The following commands are provided as a sample for implementing dataset controls: TSS PERMIT(syspaudt) DSN(SYS2.ROSCOE.)

The IAO will ensure that update and allocate/create access to the ROSCOE started task or batch job data sets is limited to system programmers and the started task only and all update and allocate/create access is logged. The IAO will ensure that all other accesses to the ROSCOE started task or batch job data sets are properly restricted and all required accesses are properly logged.

Products that require a started task will require that the started task 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, could compromise of the operating system environment, ACP, and customer data. Information Assurance OfficerECCD-1, ECCD-2

a) Refer to the following report produced by the TSS Data Collection: - TSSCMDS.RPT(@ACIDS) b) Review each ROSCOE STC/Batch ACID(s) for the following: ___ Is defined with Facility of STC and/or BATCH. ___ Is defined with Master Facility of ROSCOE. ___ Is sourced to the INTRDR. c) If all of the above are true, there is NO FINDING. d) If any of the above is untrue, this is a FINDING.

Fix: F-27951r1_fix

The ROSCOE system programmer and the IAO will ensure that a product's Started Task(s) is properly Identified / defined to the System ACP. If the product requires a Started Task, verify that it is properly defined to the System ACP with the proper attributes. Most installation manuals will indicate how the Started Task is identified and any additional attributes that must be specified. A sample is provided here: TSS CREATE(ROSCOE) TYPE(USER) - NAME('*STC* for ROSCO') DEPT(xxxx) - FAC(STC) - MASTFAC(ROSCOE) PASS(xxxxxxxx,0) - SOURCE(INTRDR) NOSUSPEND

Fix: F-3258r1_fix

The ROSCOE system programmer and the IAO will ensure that a product's started task(s) is (are) properly identified and/or defined to the System ACP. A unique ACID must be assigned for the ROSCOE started task(s) thru a corresponding STC table entry. The following sample set of commands is shown here as a guideline: TSS ADD(STC) PROCNAME(ROSCOE) ACID(ROSCOE)

Checks: C-5244r1_chk

a) Refer to the following reports produced by the TSS Data Collection: - TSSCMDS.RPT(FACLIST) - Preferred report containing all control option values in effect including default values. - TSSCMDS.RPT(TSSPRMFL) - Alternate report containing only control option values explicitly coded at TSS startup. NOTE: The FACLIST report must be created by DECC security personnel. The TSSPRMFL report can be used if DECC security personnel have not executed the required steps documented in the TSS Data Collection. b) Review the FACLIST report. Ensure the Product Facility is properly defined as specified by the product system programmer. c) If the Product facility control options are defined as indicated by the product system programmer, there is NO FINDING. d) If any of the Product facility control options are not defined as indicated by the product system programmer , this is a FINDING.

Fix: F-440r1_fix

ROSCOE 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 and integrity 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

Refer to the following report produced by the TSS Data Collection and Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - SENSITVE.RPT(ZROS0020) Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the Data Set and Resource Data Collection: - PDI(ZROS0020) Ensure that all ROSCOE resources and/or generic equivalent are properly protected according to the requirements specified in CA ROSCOE Resources table in the z/OS STIG Addendum. If the following guidance is true, this is not a finding. ___ The TSS resources and/or generic equivalent as designated in the above table are owned or DEFPROT is specified for the resource class. ___ The TSS resource access authorizations restrict access to the appropriate personnel as designated in the above table. ___ The TSS resource logging is specified as designated in the above table.

Fix: F-45273r1_fix

The IAO will work with the systems programmer to verify 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 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.) Ensure that all ROSCOE resources and/or generic equivalent are properly protected according to the requirements specified in CA ROSCOE Resources table in the z/OS STIG Addendum. Use CA ROSCOE Resources table in the z/OS STIG Addendum. This table lists the resources, access requirements, and logging requirements for ROSCOE ensure the following guidelines are followed: The TSS resources and/or generic equivalent as designated in the above table are owned or DEFPROT is specified for the resource class. The TSS resource access authorizations restrict access to the appropriate personnel as designated in the above table. The TSS resource logging is specified as designated in the above table. The following commands are provided as a sample for implementing resource controls: TSS ADD(dept-acid) ROSRES(rosid) TSS PERMIT(ALL) ROSRES(rosid.ROSCMD.ETSO) ACCESS(READ) TSS PERMIT(syspaudt) ROSRES(rosid.ROSCMD.MONITOR.)

a) Refer to the following report produced by the ACP Data Collection: - TSSCMDS.RPT(#RDT) b) Ensure that Product Resource Class(es) is (are) defined in the Resource Definition Table as follows: Note: Identify all of the attributes and charactistics of the Product resource class in the TSS Resource Definition Table (delete this note). RESOURCE CLASS = ROSRES RESOURCE CODE = X'hex code' ATTRIBUTE = MASK|NOMASK,MAXOWN(08),MAXPERMIT(044),ACCESS,DEFPROT ACCESS = NONE(0000),CONTROL(0400),UPDATE(6000),READ(4000) ACCESS = WRITE(2000),ALL(FFFF) DEFACC = READ c) If all of the items in (b) are true, there is NO FINDING. d) If any item in (b) is untrue, this is a FINDING.

Fix: F-380r1_fix

The IAO will ensure the Product resource class(es) is (are) defined in the TSS RDT. The IAO will issue one of the following commands to define the Product resource class(es): TSS REPLACE(RDT) RESCLASS(ROSRES) - MAXLEN(044) - ATTR(MASK|NOMASK,DEFPROT) - ACLST(NONE(0000),CONTROL(0400),UPDATE(6000),READ(4000),WRITE(2000),ALL(FFFF)) - DEFACC(READ) TSS ADDTO(RDT) RESCLASS(ROSRES) - RESCODE(hex-code) - ATTR(MASK|NOMASK,DEFPROT) - ACLST(NONE(0000),CONTROL(0400),UPDATE(6000),READ(4000),WRITE(2000),ALL(FFFF)) - DEFACC(READ)

a) Have the the product system programmer display the configuration/parameter control statements used in the current running product to define or enable security. This information is located in the SYSIN DD statement in the JCL of the STC/Batch job. Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the z/OS Data Collection: - PDI(ZROS0040) b) Verify the following specifications: Keyword Value EXTSEC TSS ACFEXT YES CLLEXT YES JOBEXT YES LIBEXT YES MONEXT YES PRVEXT YES RPFEXT YES UPSEXT YES c) If (b) above is true, there is NO FINDING. d) If (b) above is untrue, this is a FINDING
