Anindya Sinha created MESOS-6953: ------------------------------------ Summary: A compromised mesos-Master can execute code as root on agents. Key: MESOS-6953 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-6953 Project: Mesos Issue Type: Bug Components: security Reporter: Anindya Sinha Assignee: Anindya Sinha
mesos-master has a `--[no-]root_submissions` flag that controls whether frameworks with `root` user are admitted to the cluster. However, if a mesos-master node is compromised, it can attempt to schedule tasks on agent as the `root` user. Since mesos-agent has no check against tasks running on the agent for specific users, tasks can get run with `root` privileges can get run within the container on the agent. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
