Eric Badger commented on YARN-5534:
-----------------------------------
bq. Can you help me understand the use case here? While there are mounts that
will be commonly needed by containers, I'm not sure of any bind mounts that
every container will require.
I was thinking of the current code where we are bind-mounting "/sys/fs/cgroup"
for every container. For my use case, we would always want to bind mount
"/var/run/nscd" so that users can do lookups inside of the container and
utilize the host's configs and cache. With the current state of affairs over in
YARN-4266, if we enter the container as a UID:GID pair, MRAppMaster will fail
if we don't bind-mount "/var/run/nscd".
bq. Given that these mounts are read-only and wholly at the discretion of the
admin, I don't see that it should be much of a risk.
I think that I agree with this. The mounts have to be provided by the admin, so
if they have malicious content in them, that's on them.

> Introduction
> Mounting files or directories from the host is one way of passing
> configuration and other information into a docker container.
> We could allow the user to set a list of mounts in the environment of
> ContainerLaunchContext (e.g. /dir1:/targetdir1,/dir2:/targetdir2).
> These would be mounted read-only to the specified target locations. This has
> been resolved in YARN-4595
> 2.Problem Definition
> Bug mounting arbitrary volumes into a Docker container can be a security risk.
> 3.Possible solutions
> one approach to provide safe mounts is to allow the cluster administrator to
> configure a set of parent directories as white list mounting directories.
> Add a property named yarn.nodemanager.volume-mounts.white-list, when
> container executor do mount checking, only the allowed directories or
> sub-directories can be mounted.
