Any security guys can help to look at this issue? thanks in advance. I haven't found time to looked closer to find the cause yet, but it seems a little serious.

             Project: Harmony
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Classlib
         Environment: Harmony classlib + IBM VME, windows XP+sp2
            Reporter: Paulex Yang


I created simple a java.policy file[1], and try to run SecurityManagerTest with 
argument:

-Djava.security.manager -Dtest.bin.dir=<path to test bin directory> 
-Djava.security.policy=<path to policy file>

public class SecurityManagerTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
        System.out.println(System.getProperty("os.name")); //read access for 
this property has been granted by default policy
        System.out.println(System.getProperty("notexist")); // no access for 
this property has been granted by default policy
      }
}

RI prints:
Windows XP
null

Harmony prints:
Windows XP
K0319java.security.AccessControlException: Access denied 
(java.util.PropertyPermission notexist read)
        at 
java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(AccessController.java:94)
        at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(SecurityManager.java:739)
        at 
java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPropertyAccess(SecurityManager.java:374)
        at java.lang.System.getProperty(System.java:675)
        at java.lang.System.getProperty(System.java:660)
        at SecurityManagerTest.main(Unknown Source)

I got same results if add the content customized java.policy to default policy 
file without specifying policy file in cmd line.

[1]
grant codeBase "file:${test.bin.dir}/-" {
  permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
