platform security: m_permissions memory leak
--------------------------------------------

                 Key: FELIX-2283
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2283
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Framework Security
    Affects Versions: framework.security-1.0.0
            Reporter: Reto Bachmann-Gmür


Constant growth of memory using platform security 1.0.0 results in heap 
overflow as memory usage incerases with permission checks.


Having a look at it I found two problems, for which I can submit a patch:
- a value from m_permissions is never retrieved, as the PemissionsInfo Array is 
never equals to an existing key
Solution: invoke get with an instance of Entry, change Entry.equals to check 
for deep equality of array-entries
- as the Persmissions instance kept as (non-weak) reference in the 
m_permissions values references the PermissionInfo[] key-entry, none of them 
can be garbage collected. As a result the size of m_permissions constantly grows
