Description
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 shall 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.

Check Text (C-213688r960960_chk)

Use the following query to find who has privileges to alter, drop, and create objects in the schemas: DB2> SELECT * FROM SYSCAT.SCHEMAAUTH If non-authorized users have privileges to create, alter, or drop objects, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-14907r295114_fix)

Use the appropriate variation of REVOKE (schema privileges) statement to remove the privileges from unauthorized users/roles/groups: DB2> REVOKE <ALTERIN/CREATEIN/DROPIN> ON SCHEMA <schema-name> FROM <USER/GROUP/PUBLIC/ROLE> For more on this topic, see the Help page on "REVOKE (schema privileges) statement": http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEPGG_10.5.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.sql.ref.doc/doc/r0000988.html
