IBM System Display and Search Facility (SDSF) resources will be properly defined and protected.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>IBM System Display and Search Facility (SDSF) 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 only in greater than read authority. Resources are also granted to certain non-systems personnel with read-only authority.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

ISSO will work with the systems programmer to verify that the following are properly specified in the ACP.
(Note: The resource class, resources, and/or resource prefixes identified below are examples of a possible installation. The resource class, actual resources, and/or prefixes are determined when the product is actually installed on a system through the product's installation guide and can be site-specific.)
Ensure all IBM SDSF resources are properly protected according to the requirements specified in the SSP. The plan should be based on the SDSF SAF Resources table in the z/OS STIG Addendum and validated by the site ISSO.
