Eric Yang commented on YARN-5534: --------------------------------- Yarn-site.xml and core-site.xml are trusted configuration from Hdoop server point of view. Hadoop Kerberos, and proxy users configuration are defined in the *.xml files. WIthout trusting those configurations, Hadoop security fall apart. There is keyword like final to lock configuration in place therefore an overlay of Hadoop configuration can not alter the configuration values. Volume white list in core-site.xml or yarn-site.xml are secured. There should be very little configuration in container-executor.cfg file to govern uid and banned user. The rest of the logic in core-site.xml is preferred to ensure the logic is preprocessed in yarn user before handing off to root for execution. > Allow whitelisted volume mounts > -------------------------------- > > Key: YARN-5534 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-5534 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: yarn > Reporter: luhuichun > Assignee: Shane Kumpf > Attachments: YARN-5534.001.patch, YARN-5534.002.patch, > YARN-5534.003.patch > > > Introduction > Mounting files or directories from the host is one way of passing > configuration and other information into a docker container. > We could allow the user to set a list of mounts in the environment of > ContainerLaunchContext (e.g. /dir1:/targetdir1,/dir2:/targetdir2). > These would be mounted read-only to the specified target locations. This has > been resolved in YARN-4595 > 2.Problem Definition > Bug mounting arbitrary volumes into a Docker container can be a security risk. > 3.Possible solutions > one approach to provide safe mounts is to allow the cluster administrator to > configure a set of parent directories as white list mounting directories. > Add a property named yarn.nodemanager.volume-mounts.white-list, when > container executor do mount checking, only the allowed directories or > sub-directories can be mounted. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yarn-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: yarn-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
