Botong Huang updated YARN-5836:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
When AM calls NM via stopContainers() in ContainerManagementProtocol, the 
NMToken (generated by RM) is passed along via the user ugi. However currently 
ContainerManagerImpl is not validating this token correctly, specifically in 
authorizeGetAndStopContainerRequest() in ContainerManagerImpl. Basically it 
blindly trusts the content in the NMTokenIdentifier without verifying the 
password (RM generated signature) in the NMToken, so that malicious AM can just 
fake the content in the NMTokenIdentifier and pass it to NMs. Moreover, 
currently even for plain text checking, when the appId doesn’t match, all it 
does is log it as a warning and continues to kill the container…

For startContainers the NMToken is not checked correctly in authorizeUser() as 
well, however the ContainerToken is verified properly by regenerating and 
comparing the password in verifyAndGetContainerTokenIdentifier(), so that 
malicious AM cannot launch containers at will.
