Owen O'Malley commented on MAPREDUCE-2096:
------------------------------------------
I think we need to move away from checking in any of the autoconf/automake
generated files. Let's run autoreconf everytime and make the ignored by
subversion and git.
It should also be noted that Devaraj contributed significantly to this patch.

> The vulnerability is that MR daemons occasionally open files that are located
> in a path where the user has write access. A malicious user may place a
> symlink in place of the expected file in order to cause the daemon to instead
> read another file on the system -- one which the attacker may not naturally
> be able to access. This includes delegation tokens belong to other users, log
> files, keytabs, etc.
