Error description

  • Incorrect non-compliant finding for CIS-OS-2.1.9 because the
    key_label field is missing.
    
    This results in a non-compliant finding for goal
    3.rrsf_dsn_encrypted.
    This can happen when using a combination of SHARED=YES and
    SHARED=NO CKFREEZE files and the RRSF datasets belong to the
    system with the SHARED=NO CKFREEZE.

    *                      compliance control might report         *

    *                      reported as empty.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    When sensitive data sets reside on volumes shared between
    systems, the KEY_LABEL field of newlist types DSN/SENSDSN might
    be incorrectly reported as empty. As result, the zSecure
    Audit's RACF z/OS CIS-OS-2.1.9 compliance control might report
    incorrect non-compliant results.
    

Problem conclusion

  • zSecure Audit has been modified, so that it handles sensitive
    data set information properly for data sets on shared volumes.
    The KEY_LABEL field of newlist types DSN/SENSDSN is reported
    correctly for such data sets and the  RACF z/OS CIS-OS-2.1.9
    compliance control generates proper results.
