DISKMOUNT

Ensure that only authorized disks have been mounted.

Violation reports

Constraint Nature of the violation
GRPFORBID Unauthorized disk was mounted /GROUP
SYSFORBID Unauthorized disk was mounted /SYSTEM
USERFORBID Unauthorized disk was mounted privately

Description

These tests ensure than any previously mounted disks had authorized names (as indicated by the presence of an exemption to test (DISK, DISKMOUNT, *).

Default policy

By default (USAGE,DISKMOUNT,*) tests are not enabled

Customizing

Exemptions for (DISK,DISKMOUNT,*) tests are also honored for (USAGE,DISKMOUNT,*) tests.

The second part (Volume Name) of the (DISK,DISKMOUNT,*) exemption specification must be the of the form "DISK$<label>"

Selector

Limits

Constraint Value Default
GRPFORBID FALSE or TRUE FALSE
SYSFORBID FALSE or TRUE FALSE
USERFORBID FALSE or TRUE FALSE

Exemptions

<device-name>)
Constraint Value Parameters
GRPFORBID FALSE or TRUE <node>,<absolute-time> or <earliest-time>
SYSFORBID FALSE or TRUE <node>,<absolute-time> or <earliest-time>
USERFORBID FALSE or TRUE <node>,<absolute-time> or <earliest-time>

Practical considerations

Enable these tests only when also adding exemptions for (DISK,DISKMOUNT,*).

DISKWRITE

Ensure that only authorized disks have been mounted.

Violation reports

Constraint Nature of the violation
GRPFORBID Unauthorized disk was mounted /GROUP
SYSFORBID Unauthorized disk was mounted /SYSTEM

Description

These tests ensure than any disks previously mounted write-enabled had authorized names (as indicated by the presence of an exemption to test (DISK, DISKWRITE, *).

Default policy

By default (USAGE,DISKWRITE,*) tests are not enabled

Customizing

Exemptions for (DISK,DISKWRITE,*) tests are also honored for (USAGE,DISKWRITE,*) tests.

The second part (Volume Name) of the (DISK,DISKWRITE,*) exemption specification must be the of the form "DISK$<label>"

DOASSESS

Ensure that separation of Security Assessment from other privileged duties conforms to policy.

Violation reports

Constraint Nature of the violation
DOAUDIT Intervening Audit Control actions
DOCONNECT Intervening Connect actions
DOINSTALL Intervening image install activities
DOMOUNT Intervening mount actions
DONCP Intervening Network Management actions
DOPROCESS Intervening privileged process control actions
DOSYSGEN Intervening System Parameter changes
DOTIME Intervening SET TIME actions
DOUAF Intervening Authorization actions
DOUSEPRIV Intervening use of privilege for some other purpose

Description

The tests for this element determine separation of duties between Security Assessment and other privileged security relevant activities conforms to policy.

Each test will detect any case where one of the other privileged security relevant activities intervenes between two Security Assessment activities by the same user that are less that a specified interval apart in time.

These separation of duties tests do not apply to actions performed by the VMS system startup process.

Default policy

By default, none of the separation of duties tests are enabled

Customizing

Make minor adjustments to suit your environment
