IEF196I CCSR022I MODULE = TSSSFSC FMID = CAKOG00 RMID = LU01778

 

Environment

Release : 16.0

Component : Top Secret for z/OS

Resolution

LU01778 was PE'd

***NOTE***  PE: YES   CORRECTED BY:  LU02848 LU04152
  
ENHANCEMENT DESCRIPTION:
Increase the PWEXP (Password Expiration Interval) and PPEXP (Phrase
Expiration Interval) control option maximum value to 366.

LU02848

Possible command symptoms of corruption are:
 
1) If the PHRASE segment is corrupted, subsequent TSS REPLACE PHRASE
commands for the corrupted ACID fail with the following message:
 
TSS0390E  UNEXPECTED ERROR, CODE = 100
TSS0301I  REPLACE  FUNCTION FAILED, RETURN CODE = 16
 
Possible logon symptoms of corruption are:
 
1) S0C4 at 16D5957A LMOD TSSKERNL CSECT TSSKGAR +0018C2
 
2) TSS9999E CA-TSS SECURITY SVC ABEND S0C4 IN TSSKERNL+549DE

IMPACT:
Since the size of the PHRASE segment cannot be displayed, the
potential for impact is unpredictable.  If corruption occurs, the
user may not be able to logon.  If a user attempts to change their
PHRASE during logon and they already have a corrupted PHRASE segment,
it could cause an abend and/or storage overlays in the CSA that
could adversely affect other processing.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Protential abend S0C4 in TSSKGAR+1FE4 after PTF LU01778.
Problem manifests in the following ways running with AES256:
1. Adding INSTDATA to an acid used as the model for the TSS CREATE
   USING command.
2. Setting PWEXP(365) and executing TSS CREATE USING command.

***NOTE*** This PTF corrects PE PTF LU04152
 
 
****   HIGH IMPACT NOTIFICATION ALERT   ****
 
 
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
After PTF LU04152, password lengths are invalid for ACIDs that are created
using the TSS CREATE USING command when a password is not supplied and
AES password encryption is in effect.
 
SYMPTOMS:
New ACIDs created with TSS CREATE USING may experience hangs or S0C4 abends
during logon or batch job execution.
 
IMPACT:
Any ACID generated by TSS CREATE USING without a password supplied contains
an invalid password length.
If an ACID was created with TSS CREATE USING and a password
was not supplied, the ACID contains a password with an invalid length.
