Attaching a third version of SecureLucene.java. I have wrapped a privilege 
block around the application's Lucene calls and pruned some more permissions. 
This significantly reduces the attack surface.

At this point, I do not need to grant Lucene any runtime or reflection 
permissions and I do not need to grant Lucene read access to all of the files 
in the file system. I do not need to grant the application read access to all 
files in the file system, either. It turns out that Codec loading simply 
depends on the ability to read the Lucene core jar file.

Here are the reduced permissions which I need to grant:

{noformat}
grant codeBase 
file:/Users/rh161140/derby/derby-590/trunk/tools/java/lucene-core-4.5.0.jar
{
  // permissions for file access, write access only to sandbox:

  permission java.io.FilePermission 
/Users/rh161140/derby/derby-590/luceneTest/-, read,write,delete;
  
  // Basic permissions needed for Lucene to work:
  permission java.util.PropertyPermission user.dir, read;
  permission java.util.PropertyPermission sun.arch.data.model, read;
};

grant codeBase file:/Users/rh161140/src/
{
  // permissions for file access, write access only to sandbox:
  permission java.io.FilePermission 
/Users/rh161140/derby/derby-590/trunk/tools/java/lucene-core-4.5.0.jar,

 Classloader issues when running Lucene under a java SecurityManager

 Project: Lucene - Core
  Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 4.5
Reporter: Rick Hillegas
 Attachments: SecureLucene.java, SecureLucene.java


 I see the following error when I run Lucene 4.5.0 under a java 
 SecurityManager. I will attach a test program which shows this problem. The 
 program works fine when a SecurityManager is not installed. But the program 
 fails when I install a SecurityManager. Even more puzzling, the program works 
 if I first run it without a SecurityManager, then install a SecurityManager, 
 then re-run the program, all within the lifetime of a single JVM. I would 
 appreciate advice about how to work around this problem:

Thanks for the help and the discussion so far, Hoss and Uwe.

Attaching a second rev of the SecureLucene test program. This version pares 
back the permissions in order to expose the minimal attack surface which I can 
configure by myself. Here are the minimal permissions which the test program 
grants in order to run successfully under a Java Security Manager:

{noformat}
// permissions granted to Lucene
grant codeBase 
file:/Users/rh161140/derby/derby-590/trunk/tools/java/lucene-core-4.5.0.jar
{
  // permissions for file access, write access only to sandbox:
  permission java.io.FilePermission ALL FILES, read;
  permission java.io.FilePermission 
/Users/rh161140/derby/derby-590/luceneTest, read,write,delete;
  permission java.io.FilePermission 
/Users/rh161140/derby/derby-590/luceneTest/-, read,write,delete;
  
  // Basic permissions needed for Lucene to work:
  permission java.util.PropertyPermission user.dir, read;
  permission java.util.PropertyPermission sun.arch.data.model, read;
  permission java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission *;
  permission java.lang.RuntimePermission *;
};

// permissions granted to the application
grant codeBase file:/Users/rh161140/src/
{
  // permissions for file access, write access only to sandbox:
  permission java.io.FilePermission ALL FILES, read;
  permission java.io.FilePermission 
/Users/rh161140/derby/derby-590/luceneTest, read,write;
  permission java.io.FilePermission 
/Users/rh161140/derby/derby-590/luceneTest/-, read,write,delete;
  
  // Basic permissions needed for Lucene to work:
  permission java.util.PropertyPermission user.dir, read;
  permission java.util.PropertyPermission sun.arch.data.model, read;
};
{noformat}

I have some follow on comments and questions:

1) Is it really necessary to grant Lucene every RuntimePermission and the 
privilege to read every file in the file system? Maybe these grants can be 
tightened.

2) I don't understand why the calling, application code needs to be granted any 
permissions. Maybe some more privilege blocks could be added to the Lucene 
code? In particular, it seems a shame that the application has to be granted 
the privilege to read every file in the file system.

3) Most of the application permissions are self-revealing. That is, if I omit 
one of them, then I get an exception telling me that the permission needs to be 
granted. However, that is not the case for the first permission granted to the 
application...

  permission java.io.FilePermission ALL FILES, read;

...Without that permission, I get the original puzzling exception: Caused by: 
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: A SPI class of type 
org.apache.lucene.codecs.Codec..., which doesn't really tell me what the 
problem is. Maybe the wording of that exception could be improved so that the 
user can be told that one of its root causes is a failure to grant the 
application and Lucene read access to every file in the file system.

Thanks,
-Rick

Attaching SecureLucene.java, a program which shows this problem. To run the 
program, I put the program and the following jar files on the classpath:

lucene-analyzers-common-4.5.0.jar
lucene-core-4.5.0.jar
lucene-queryparser-4.5.0.jar

I see these successful results...

 java SecureLucene
Running unsecured...
Success!
Running with security manager...
Success!

...and this unsuccessful result...

Thanks, Robert.  After adding all of those permissions to my policy file, the 
test runs cleanly. Thanks.
