Michael Bieniosek commented on HADOOP-416: ------------------------------------------ I've noticed that occasionally snippets of web pages make it to the log pages. This could potentially be a security problem, so we should fix this. I don't think <pre> is a great solution, since there could be a </pre> in the text. It's probably better to escape &<>, or set the content-type to text/plain. > Web UI JSP: need to HTML-Escape log file contents > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-416 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-416 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Reporter: Michel Tourn > Assignee: Owen O'Malley > > Web UI JSP: need to HTML-Escape log (file) contents > Displaying the task's error log or the mapred.Reporter status String: > the content should > have all "<" and ">" converted to "<" and ">", > or use "<pre>" tag. > Otherwise, ant HTML/XML tags within will not be displayed correctly > This problem occurs for ex. when using hadoopStreaming and > a MapRed record is a chunk of HTML/XML content (and a task fails) > ex. problematic view: > http://jobtracker:50030/taskdetails.jsp?jobid=job_0009&taskid=tip_0009_m_000000 > Other jsp pages may also need a change. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
