(ID 292327) Technical bulletin: An unauthorized user can delete a partially migrated data set

Product 

BMC Compuware FDR 

Version

5.04

Date

2023/09/14 00:00 

We are alerting users to a problem in the listed BMC Compuware FDR product.

Issue

If the first piece of a partially archived multi-volume data set is not migrated, the partially archived multi-volume data set can be deleted without the required ALTER privileges.

However, if the first piece of the archived multi-volume data set is migrated, or if the archived multi-volume data set is completely migrated, or if it is on DASD, the data set cannot be deleted without ALTER authority for the data set.

Resolution

You can resolve the issue by applying the following ZAP:

*****    ZAP-ID#   : P-54.9052                                          
*        DATE      : 23.033                                             
*        PREREQ    : V 5.4/90                                           
*        STATUS    : NOT APPLIED                                        
*        AUTHOR    : MKP                                                
*        SYMPTOMS  : Partially archived multi volume dataset (where the
*                    first piece is not migrated) is deleted for a user
*                    with read authority on the dataset profile.        
*        PROBLEM   : LXRECDEL is tested for 'ON' for  a YES condition.  
*                    FDROPT sets this to OFF for YES condition.         
*        SOLUTION  : Apply zap.                                         
*                    LXRECDEL test changed to check 'OFF' for a 'YES'.  
*                                                                       
*        NOTE      : IN ADDITION TO USING SUPERZAP (AMASPZAP) TO APPLY  
*                    THE ZAP, IF THE LOCATE EXIT IS ACTIVE AND          
*                    DYNAMICALLY INSTALLED, FDRZAP MUST BE RUN IN       
*                    ADDITION TO AMASPZAP TO APPLY THE ZAP TO THE IN    
*                    STORAGE COPY OF FDR026DU.  AN EXAMPLE OF THE JCL   
*                    TO USE FDRZAP IS:                                  
*                                                                       
*                    //FDRZAP  EXEC PGM=FDRZAP
