Which security values and security settings should never be left as default?

Let’s list your ROLES and Authorization IDs with some SQL queries and check the security ZPARMs

To complete this two part series, I want to do a deep dive today, down into the security innards of DB2, and to wrap up with a review of default values that can cause security concerns. A long time ago ROLEs were introduced, and, as you saw in the last newsletter, nearly all OWNERs have an associated indicator of whether they are a Role or an Authorization Id. With Roles came Trusted Contexts, and I hope that all of you out there using remote access have set up a whole bunch of Trusted Contexts.

Part 1 proposes a review of any and all GRANTs on the DB2 Directory and Catalog tables. Is your DB2 Catalog opened with a PUBLIC grant? Do you know how your DB2 z/OS System is looking on the security side ?

Role playing

To start this time, we will review the Roles that you have currently defined:

SELECT NAME
     , DEFINER
     , CASE DEFINERTYPE
       WHEN 'L' THEN 'ROLE   '
       WHEN ' ' THEN 'AUTH ID'
       ELSE          'UNKNOWN'
       END        AS DEFINERTYPE
 FROM SYSIBM.SYSROLES
 ORDER BY 1 , 2
 FETCH FIRST 50 ROWS ONLY
 WITH UR
 ;

If this finds no rows, then that is either brilliant – you have no dynamic access – or pretty bad – you are not using Roles.

Having found your list of Roles, make sure that they are all allowed and correct. Remove any that are not supposed to be there!

It’s all a matter of context

Now the three Trusted Context Tables are to be queried:

SELECT ENABLED
 , NAME
 , CONTEXTID
 , DEFINER
 , CASE DEFINERTYPE
 WHEN 'L' THEN 'ROLE   '
 WHEN ' ' THEN 'AUTH ID'
 ELSE          'UNKNOWN'
 END        AS DEFINERTYPE
 , DEFAULTROLE
 , CASE OBJECTOWNERTYPE
 WHEN 'L' THEN 'ROLE   '
 WHEN ' ' THEN 'AUTH ID'
 ELSE          'UNKNOWN'
 END        AS OBJECTOWNERTYPE
 , ALLOWPUBLIC
 , AUTHENTICATEPUBLIC
 , DEFAULTSECURITYLABEL
 FROM SYSIBM.SYSCONTEXT
 ORDER BY 3
 FETCH FIRST 50 ROWS ONLY
 WITH UR
 ;

This query just shows you what you have at the moment and whether or not it is active, plus the basic security information. The next two queries list out the actual details:

SELECT CONTEXTID
     , AUTHID 
     , AUTHENTICATE
     , ROLE
     , SECURITYLABEL
FROM SYSIBM.SYSCONTEXTAUTHIDS
ORDER BY 1
FETCH FIRST 50 ROWS ONLY
WITH UR
;
SELECT CONTEXTID
     , NAME
     , VALUE
FROM SYSIBM.SYSCTXTTRUSTATTRS
ORDER BY 1
FETCH FIRST 50 ROWS ONLY
WITH UR
;

Note that the key is always the CONTEXTID. The NAME and VALUE pair is where you actually find the details of how a Trusted Context is defined. Again, check and validate that all these values – and especially the IP addresses – are still valid.

Do I have your Permission?

Masks and Permissions came in a while ago but haven’t gained much traction in the DB2 user community yet. However, here is an SQL to show you what you do have:

SELECT ENABLE
     , CASE CONTROL_TYPE
       WHEN 'R' THEN 'ROW PERMISSION'
       WHEN 'M' THEN 'COLUMN MASK   '
       ELSE          'UNKNOWN       '
       END        AS CONTROL_TYPE
     , SCHEMA     AS CREATOR
     , NAME
     , OWNER
     , CASE OWNERTYPE
       WHEN 'L' THEN 'ROLE   '
       WHEN ' ' THEN 'AUTH ID'
       ELSE          'UNKNOWN'
       END        AS OWNERTYPE
FROM SYSIBM.SYSCONTROLS
ORDER BY 2 , 3 , 4
FETCH FIRST 50 ROWS ONLY
WITH UR
;

You can then easily see whether or not the permission/mask is active, or not.

SECADM to the rescue

If running with SECADM and Audit Policies, then this little query will show you what is going on:

SELECT AUDITPOLICYNAME
     , OBJECTSCHEMA
     , OBJECTNAME
     , CASE OBJECTTYPE
       WHEN 'C' THEN 'CLONE TABLE                  '
       WHEN 'P' THEN 'IMPLICIT TABLE FOR XML COLUMN'
       WHEN 'T' THEN 'TABLE                        '
       WHEN ' ' THEN 'XML, CLONE OR TABLE          '
       ELSE          'ERROR AT POLICY START TIME   '
       END AS OBJECTTYPE
     , CREATEDTS
     , ALTEREDTS
     , CASE DB2START
       WHEN 'Y' THEN 'STARTED AT DB2 START                '
       WHEN 'S' THEN 'STARTED AT DB2 START. SECADM TO STOP'
       WHEN 'N' THEN 'POLICY NOT STARTED AT DB2 START     '
       ELSE          'UNKNOWN                             '
       END AS DB2START
     , CASE CHECKING
       WHEN 'A' THEN 'AUDIT ALL FAILURES        '
       WHEN ' ' THEN 'AUDIT NONE                '
       ELSE          'ERROR AT POLICY START TIME'
       END AS CHECKING
     , CASE VALIDATE
       WHEN 'A' THEN 'AUDIT ALL FAILURES        '
       WHEN ' ' THEN 'AUDIT NONE                '
       ELSE          'ERROR AT POLICY START TIME'
       END AS VALIDATE
     , CASE OBJMAINT
       WHEN 'A' THEN 'AUDIT ALTER/DROP          '
       WHEN ' ' THEN 'AUDIT NONE                '
       ELSE          'ERROR AT POLICY START TIME'
       END AS OBJMAINT
     , CASE EXECUTE
       WHEN 'A' THEN 'AUDIT FIRST ACCESS        '
       WHEN 'C' THEN 'AUDIT FIRST UPDATE        '
       WHEN ' ' THEN 'AUDIT NONE                '
       ELSE          'ERROR AT POLICY START TIME'
       END AS EXECUTE
     , CASE CONTEXT
       WHEN 'A' THEN 'AUDIT ALL UTILITIES       '
       WHEN ' ' THEN 'AUDIT NONE                '
       ELSE          'ERROR AT POLICY START TIME'
       END AS CONTEXT
     , CASE SECMAINT
       WHEN 'A' THEN 'AUDIT ALL                 '
       WHEN ' ' THEN 'AUDIT NONE                '
       ELSE          'ERROR AT POLICY START TIME'
       END AS SECMAINT
     , SYSADMIN
     , DBADMIN
     , DBNAME
     , COLLID
FROM SYSIBM.SYSAUDITPOLICIES
ORDER BY 1
FETCH FIRST 50 ROWS ONLY
WITH UR
;

Now you can see what is happening with your policies, and are they working as designed?

Are you a ROLE model?

The next large set of queries returns *all* AUTH relevant DB2 catalog data from any DB2 Table that has any possible link to a ROLE:

SELECT GRANTOR
     , CASE GRANTORTYPE

It’s a pretty good idea to modify all of the above with an appropriate GRANTOR = or GRANTEE = predicate, as otherwise there is too much data.

You can DEPend on me!

Nearly all objects in DB2 have a dependency on another object. All of this data is stored in the xxxxxDEP tables. Some of them also have ROLE based data that could well be of interest to the security minded Person:

Again, judicious use of extra WHERE predicates is recommended!

Then there is the “base” data of the objects themselves, which can have ROLE based information in it.

Lost in translation

Finally, and the last SQL for this newsletter, is for the Inbound and Outbound AUTHID translation table:

SELECT AUTHID
     , CASE TYPE
       WHEN 'I' THEN 'INBOUND AND COME-FROM CHECKING               '
       WHEN 'O' THEN 'OUTBOUND TRANSLATION                         '
       WHEN 'S' THEN 'OUTBOUND SYSTEM AUTHID FOR TRUSTED CONNECTION'
       ELSE          'UNKNOWN                                      '
       END        AS NAME_TYPE
     , NEWAUTHID

ORDER BY 1
FETCH FIRST 50 ROWS ONLY
WITH UR
;

We have now gone through all the Role based, and some more, DB2 Catalog tables. What about seeing what is happening on your machine? Have you anything in place that can give you 100% coverage of audit issues? With Software Engineering’s SQL WorkloadExpert for DB2 z/OS you can audit everything that is running in your enterprise. For example here is a view of the Audit pop-up window:

In the bottom half you can see the Authorization failures radio button. This shows all -551 SQL Codes and also the +562 “ping” of a double GRANT. Why this? Well, to prove that the Audit is actually alive and well you should do a “dummy” GRANT every day like, for example,

GRANT SELECT ON SYSIBM.SYDUMMY1 TO PUBLIC ;

that is already there and therefore gets a +562 which is also externalized and available in this selection. This way auditors can see that the Audit trace was running and so any -551 would also be there.

You also get GRANTs and REVOKEs and DDL that is running – optionally the software can even generate the DDL so you can follow the lifecycle of changes over time. All very handy stuff and available real-time!

Death by Default?

Now onto the last part of these newsletters: Default settings which can harm security.

Here’s a little list of any security ZPARM or BSDS settings that should never ever be left “as default”.

If you have any of the above values in your shop – Time to plan some changes!

I hope you enjoyed this last part of a Quick Security Audit. Thanks again for reaching the end.

As always, any questions or comments would be most welcome!

TTFN,

Roy Boxwell
