---------------------------------
Summary: Tighten the authorization of datanode RPC
Key: HDFS-11069
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-11069
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Components: datanode, security
Reporter: Kihwal Lee
The current implementation of {{checkSuperuserPrivilege()}} allows the datanode
user from any node to be recognized as a super user. If one datanode is
compromised, the intruder can issue {{shutdownDatanode()}}, {{evictWriters()}},
{{triggerBlockReport()}}, etc. against all other datanodes.
This needs to be tightened to allow only the local datanode user.
