Weiwei Yang created AMBARI-18632: ------------------------------------ Summary: Security flaw with adding dr.who into yarn.admin.acl while enabling kerberos Key: AMBARI-18632 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-18632 Project: Ambari Issue Type: Bug Components: security Affects Versions: 2.3.0, 2.2.0, 2.4.0 Reporter: Weiwei Yang
AMBARI-12415 introduces a major security hole to a secure cluster, it adds *dr.who* into *yarn.admin.acl*, which grants yarn admin permission to an anonymous user. It should be reverted. There is an alternative way of fixing this, see more in HADOOP-13707. Http service could be non-secure in a kerberized environment, when hadoop.http.authentication.type=simple, under this situation, the fix of HADOOP-13707 skips admin checks for static user dr.who. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
