> Key: HARMONY-6264
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-6264
> Project: Harmony
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Classlib, DRLVM
> Affects Versions: 5.0M10
> Environment: SVN Revision: 785439
> Reporter: Jesse Wilson
> Assignee: Mark Hindess
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 5.0M11

> Attachments: getStackClass.patch, getStackClass_Implementation.patch

> Original Estimate: 2h
> Remaining Estimate: 2h

> We need a new native method, VM.getStackClass(int) to compliment VM.getStackClassLoader() and Class.getStackClasses(). It needs to be implemented in the VM vendors. I can fix Android's Dalvik VM, but I'll need a Harmony volunteer to fix DRLVM.
> Background:
> To implement AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater securely, it's necessary to capture the class of the caller, not just the class loader of the caller. Otherwise a rogue class (say, EvilBufferedInputStream) could use an AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater to modify protected fields of arbitrary instances (such as the buffer field of somebody else's BufferedInputStream).
> This blocks HARMONY-6262, which updates of our copy of java.util.concurrent to Doug Lea's latest. The getStackClass() call is needed for line 181 and its result is used on line 262:
