Miklos Szegedi commented on YARN-7590:
--------------------------------------

Thank you for the patch [~eyang]. I have two more style issues. I also verified 
the patch and it runs a basic mapreduce job and does not allow the scenario in 
the description as expected.
{code}
    fprintf(LOGFILE, "Error checking file stats for %s.\n", nm_root);
{code}
It would be very useful to have a meaningful error message like 
{{fprintf(LOGFILE, "Error checking file stats for %s %d %s.\n", nm_root, err, 
strerror(err));}}. It helps a lot to support the feature.
{code}
      if (check != 0 || strstr(container_log_dir, "..") != 0) {
{code}
Like I mentioned before, I would separate the two checks with a meaningful 
error message in the second case. The first one already prints inside the call. 
This one also helps to support the feature.

> There is minimum check for prefix path for container-executor.  If YARN is 
> compromised, attacker  can use container-executor to change system files 
> ownership:
> {code}
> /usr/local/hadoop/bin/container-executor spark yarn 0 etc /home/yarn/tokens 
> /home/spark / ls
> {code}
> This will change /etc to be owned by spark user:
> {code}
> # ls -ld /etc
> drwxr-s---. 110 spark hadoop 8192 Nov 21 20:00 /etc
> {code}
> Spark user can rewrite /etc files to gain more access.  We can improve this 
> with additional check in container-executor:
> # Make sure the prefix path is owned by the same user as the caller to 
> container-executor.
> # Make sure the log directory prefix is owned by the same user as the caller.
