Information

The OS must limit privileges to change the database management system (DBMS) software resident within software libraries (including privileged programs).

GROUP ID: V-270515
RULE ID: SV-270515r1065210

If the system were to allow any user to make changes to software libraries, then those changes might be implemented without undergoing the appropriate testing and approvals that are part of a robust change management process.

Accordingly, only qualified and authorized individuals must be allowed to obtain access to information system components for purposes of initiating changes, including upgrades and modifications.

Unmanaged changes that occur to the database software libraries or configuration can lead to unauthorized or compromised installations.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Restrict access to the DBMS software libraries to accounts that require access based on job function.
