Daniel John Debrunner reopened DERBY-2556:
------------------------------------------
PrivilegedFileOps is a utility class with privileged blocks which is strongly
discouraged by Java docs (see comment in DERBY-3745).
This fix needs to be re-worked to not open uch security holes.
> Code paths for db restore do not use doPrivileged-calls, causing
> SecurityException

> When using 'createFrom' or 'restoreFrom' in the JDBC url to restore a
> database from a backup image, a SecurityException is thrown even though the
> policyfile for codebase derby.jar is correctly configured (giving Derby
> access to the backup image).
> A few comments on this issue can be found here (and in subsequent comments):
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1001#action_12439811
> A workaround is wrapping the connection call in doPrivileged at the
> "application-level code", or granting the required permissions to the
> application codebase as well.
