CVE-2018-11760: Apache Spark local privilege escalation vulnerability

Severity: Important

Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation

Versions affected:
All Spark 1.x, Spark 2.0.x, and Spark 2.1.x versions
Spark 2.2.0 to 2.2.2
Spark 2.3.0 to 2.3.1

Description:
When using PySpark , it's possible for a different local user to connect to
the Spark application and impersonate the user running the Spark
application.  This affects versions 1.x, 2.0.x, 2.1.x, 2.2.0 to 2.2.2, and
2.3.0 to 2.3.1.

Mitigation:
1.x, 2.0.x, 2.1.x, and 2.2.x users should upgrade to 2.2.3 or newer
2.3.x users should upgrade to 2.3.2 or newer
Otherwise, affected users should avoid using PySpark in multi-user
environments.

I received some questions about what the exact change was which fixed the
issue, and the PMC decided to post info in jira to make it easier for the
community to track.  The relevant details are all on
