ATTACHMENT ID: 12617917 > Hive metastore authorization check is not threadsafe > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-5989 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5989 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Metastore, Security > Affects Versions: 0.11.0, 0.12.0, 0.12.1 > Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan > Assignee: Sushanth Sowmyan > Priority: Critical > Attachments: HIVE-5989.patch, SleepyAP.patch > > > Metastore-side authorization has a couple of pretty important threadsafety > bugs in it: > a) The HiveMetastoreAuthenticated instantiated by the > AuthorizationPreEventListener is static. This is a premature optimization and > incorrect, as it will result in Authenticator implementations that store > state potentially giving an incorrect result, and this bug very much exists > with the DefaultMetastoreAuthenticator. > b) It assumes HMSHandler.getHiveConf() is itself going to be thread-safe, > which it is not. HMSHandler.getConf() is the appropriate thread-safe > equivalent. > The effect of this bug is that if there are two users that are concurrently > running jobs on the metastore, we might : > a) Allow a user to do something they didn't have permission to, because the > other person did. (Security hole) > b) Disallow a user from doing something they should have permission to (More > common - annoying and can cause job failures) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159)
