Tony,
Thank you for at least posting two concrete examples of past holes.
There was a recent article in zJournal about hacking z/OS, but it was
disappointing, limited to what we've discussed here. The article
quoted a number of noted gurus (some on this thread), and they all
basically said the same thing. Authorized code can hack MVS,
unauthorized code can't. Also, like your examples above, none of the
examples of hacking quoted in the article were less than 20 years old.
I wonder if anyone was able to exploit SMP/E to run arbitrary code in a
privileged state?
