# [DRILL-8554](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-8554): Update Jackcess and Fix Linked Table Issue ## Description This PR bumps Jackcess to version 4.0.11. Additionally MS Access files with linked tables can potentially allow access to unauthorized files or malicious code. This PR adds a configuration variable to prohibit linked tables from being scanned. It defaults to `false`. ## Documentation An Access file can define tables that live in another database file, referenced by an absolute local path or a UNC share embedded in the file itself. Drill refuses to follow those references by default: reading an untrusted file would otherwise make the Drillbit open a path of the file author's choosing, as the Drillbit service account. If you trust the files being queried and need linked tables to work, set `allowLinkedDatabases` to `true`: ## Testing Added additional unit tests to existing MS Access unit tests. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
