Todd Lipcon updated MAPREDUCE-2096:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: secure-files-authorized-jvm-fix.txt
In testing I came upon one spot where the new JVM authorization in this patch
was incorrectly triggered:
2010-10-03 22:30:36,252 WARN org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskRunner:
attempt_201010032228_0001_m_000001_2 Reporting Diagnostics
java.io.IOException: JVM with mapred is not authorized for job_201010032228_0001
at
org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker.ensureAuthorizedJVM(TaskTracker.java:3096)
at
org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker.reportDiagnosticInfo(TaskTracker.java:3164)
at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskRunner.run(TaskRunner.java:232)
This patch fixes the above issue by having TaskRunner call to a version of
reportDiagonsticInfo that doesn't authorize the caller.

> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: jobtracker, security, tasktracker

> This JIRA is to contribute a patch developed on the private security@ mailing
> list.
> The vulnerability is that MR daemons occasionally open files that are located
> in a path where the user has write access. A malicious user may place a
> symlink in place of the expected file in order to cause the daemon to instead
> read another file on the system -- one which the attacker may not naturally
> be able to access. This includes delegation tokens belong to other users, log
> files, keytabs, etc.
