Allen Wittenauer resolved MAPREDUCE-1994.
-----------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
This is probably fixed by now, but even so, hadoop 1.x is dead. Closing.

> Key: MAPREDUCE-1994
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1994
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: security, task-controller
> Affects Versions: 0.22.0
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Assignee: Todd Lipcon
> Attachments: mapreduce-1994-prelim.txt
>
>
> The task-controller uses argv[0] to determine its own path, and then calls
> stat() on that. Instead it should stat("/proc/self/exe") directly. This is
> important since argv[0] can be spoofed to point to another program and thus
> either fool the autodetection of HADOOP_HOME or evade various permissions
> checks.
