Wei-Chiu Chuang commented on HDFS-11069:
----------------------------------------
Hi [~kihwal], I'm just curious, for security concerns, should NameNode also
tighten its RPC authorization as well? Any reason why not? One reason might be
the NameNode HA, but I wonder if there are other rationales too. Thanks.

> The current implementation of {{checkSuperuserPrivilege()}} allows the
> datanode user from any node to be recognized as a super user. If one
> datanode is compromised, the intruder can issue {{shutdownDatanode()}},
> {{evictWriters()}}, {{triggerBlockReport()}}, etc. against all other
> datanodes. Although this does not expose stored data, it can cause service
> disruptions.
> This needs to be tightened to allow only the local datanode user.
