EMC Identifier: ESA-2017-035
CVE Identifier: CVE-2017-4982

Summary:
EMC ResourcePak Base contains a fix for a privilege management vulnerability that could potentially be exploited by malicious users to compromise the affected system.
Details:
EMC Mainframe Enablers ResourcePak Base versions 7.6.0, 8.0.0 and 8.1.0 allows a Key 8 program to run in supervisor state instead of problem state. This could allow the program code which runs as an authorized user to give control to another Key 8 program in supervisor state. Supervisor state can allow privileged instructions to execute and/or cause inadvertent or intentional storage overlays which could lead to data corruption.

\x{149} EMC EMCSCF 7.6.0 version with fix SF76150
