[jira] Updated: (MAPREDUCE-1991) taskcontroller allows stealing permissions on any local file

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1991?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Todd Lipcon updated MAPREDUCE-1991:
-----------------------------------

    Status: Open  (was: Patch Available)

After running the tests, I think there may be an error in this patch - we use "--" to signal "end of flag options" but that's no longer handled since there no longer are any flag options.

> The linux task-controller setuid binary allows a malicious user to chmod any file on the system to 644 (and as a side effect appends some junk to the end)
