Todd Lipcon reopened MAPREDUCE-4572:
------------------------------------
I'm concerned this might be a security hole. Are there any user-writable places
that are served by jetty's file servlet? I think the user might be able to do
something like drop a symlink into their log directory which points to the TT's
keytab or another user's tokens. Without using the SecureIOUtils, this attack
seems likely. I think we should revert this until we can do a detailed review
for security.
