  • When supporting applications that require security labeling of data, DB2 must associate organization-defined types of security labels having organization-defined security label values with information in process.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without the association of security labels to information, there is no basis for the DBMS to make security-related access-con...

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • DB2 must prevent non-privileged users from executing privileged functions, to include disabling, circumventing, or altering implemented security safeguards/countermeasures.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Preventing non-privileged users from executing privileged functions mitigates the risk that unauthorized individuals or proce...

    Group
  • DB2 must allocate audit record storage capacity in accordance with organization-defined audit record storage requirements.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;In order to ensure sufficient storage capacity for the audit logs, the DBMS must be able to allocate audit record storage cap...

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • DB2 must provide a warning to appropriate support staff when allocated audit record storage volume reaches 75% of maximum audit record storage capacity.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Organizations are required to use a central log management system, so, under normal conditions, the audit space allocated to ...

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • DB2 must provide an immediate real-time alert to appropriate support staff of all audit failure events requiring real-time alerts.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required....

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • DB2 must generate audit records when unsuccessful attempts to access categorized information (e.g., classification levels/security levels) occur.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Use of categorized information must be tracked. Without an audit trail, unauthorized access to protected data could go undete...

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • DB2 must prohibit user installation of logic modules (stored procedures, functions, triggers, views, etc.) without explicit privileged status.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Allowing regular users to install software, without explicit privileges, creates the risk that untested or potentially malici...

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • DB2 and the operating system must enforce access restrictions associated with changes to the configuration of DB2 or database(s).

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Failure to provide logical access restrictions associated with changes to configuration may have significant effects on the o...

    Group
  • DB2 must produce audit records of its enforcement of access restrictions associated with changes to the configuration of DB2 or database(s).
