------------------------------------
Summary: A compromised mesos-Master can execute code as root on
agents.
Key: MESOS-6953
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-6953
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Bug
Components: security
Reporter: Anindya Sinha
Assignee: Anindya Sinha
mesos-master has a `--[no-]root_submissions` flag that controls whether
frameworks with `root` user are admitted to the cluster.
However, if a mesos-master node is compromised, it can attempt to schedule
tasks on agent as the `root` user. Since mesos-agent has no check against tasks
running on the agent for specific users, tasks can get run with `root`
privileges can get run within the container on the agent.
