Billie Rinaldi commented on YARN-7221:
--------------------------------------
It looks like set_privileged is missing free(user). Also, will ngroups always
be set when getgrouplist returns -1? I was wondering if we should check the
return value before entering the loop for (int j = 0; j < ngroups; j++).
When applying to trunk, I got a conflict on TestDockerContainerRuntime, but I'm
not sure what is going on since that file hasn't been modified since the last
precommit build.
I don't see any other issues at the moment. I'm going to try running and
testing the patch locally and will get back to you with the results.

> When a docker is running with privileges, majority of the use case is to have
> some program running with root then drop privileges to another user. i.e.
> httpd to start with privileged and bind to port 80, then drop privileges to
> www user.
> # We should add security check for submitting users, to verify they have
> "sudo" access to run privileged container.
> # We should remove --user=uid:gid for privileged containers.
>
> Docker can be launched with --privileged=true, and --user=uid:gid flag. With
> this parameter combinations, user will not have access to become root user.
> All docker exec command will be drop to uid:gid user to run instead of
> granting privileges. User can gain root privileges if container file system
> contains files that give user extra power, but this type of image is
> considered as dangerous. Non-privileged user can launch container with
> special bits to acquire same level of root power. Hence, we lose control of
> which image should be run with --privileges, and who have sudo rights to use
> privileged container images. As the result, we should check for sudo access
> then decide to parameterize --privileged=true OR --user=uid:gid. This will
> avoid leading developer down the wrong path.
