Goal

On Billing and Revenue Management (BRM) 12.0.0.2.0 version, as per security requirement we intend to modify bellow two operating system (OS) parameters as following:

1. Set the following parameter in /etc/sysctl.conf or a /etc/sysctl.d/* file: kernel.randomize_va_space = 2

2. Edit the /etc/bashrc, /etc/profile and /etc/profile.d/*.sh files (and the appropriate files for any other shell supported on your system) and add or edit any umask parameters as follows: umask 027

What is the impact for BRM product if these changes are implemented?

Is there any other comment or recommendation customer should consider before implementing this change?
