This is the workaround, which was suggested by the SAP security experts: "Note that this workaround is a temporary fix and is not a permanent solution: If set it should be removed by executing: chmod 0755 /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/SYS/exe/run/sybctrl The database can also be started using the SAP Host Agent using the StartDatabase command.".
