Title
There are LOGONIDs with the SECURITY attribute that do not have the RULEVLD and RSRCVLD attributes specified. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Failure to assign the attribute bypasses security checking for the LOGONID and could result in the compromise of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the operating system, ACP, or customer data.
Check Content
a) Refer to the following report produced by the ACF2 Data Collection: - ACF2CMDS.RPT(ATTSECT) Automated Analysis Refer to the following report produced by the ACF2 Data Collection Checklist: - PDI(ACF0760) b) If all logonids with the SECURITY attribute also have the RULEVLD and RSRCVLD attributes specified, there is NO FINDING. c) If any logonid with the SECURITY attribute does not have the RULEVLD and/or RSRCVLD attributes specified, this is a FINDING.
Fix Text
The IAO will ensure Logonids with the SECURITY attribute have the RULEVLD and RSRCVLD attributes specified. If a logonid is granted the SECURITY privilege, it is mandatory that RULEVLD and RSRCVLD attributes will also be specified for the logonid. Example: SET LID CHANGE logonid RULEVLD RSRCVLD
