Jason Lowe commented on YARN-7221:
----------------------------------
Thanks for updating the patch! The unit test failure is unrelated and tracked
by YARN-7700.
There's one more issue I just noticed. When we fork-n-exec /bin/sudo, the
parent process is not checking the result of the wait() call. Unfortunately if
wait fails (e.g.: EINTR) and statval does not end up being set then the parent
will think that the command succeeded because WIFEXITED(0) == 1 and
WEXITSTATUS(0) == 0. The parent really should be calling waitpid() with the
pid returned by the fork and the result code from that waitpid() call needs to
be checked before examining the statval value. My apologies for missing this
in the earlier reviews.

> When a docker is running with privileges, majority of the use case is to have
> some program running with root then drop privileges to another user. i.e.
> httpd to start with privileged and bind to port 80, then drop privileges to
> www user.
> # We should add security check for submitting users, to verify they have
> "sudo" access to run privileged container.
> # We should remove --user=uid:gid for privileged containers.
>
> Docker can be launched with --privileged=true, and --user=uid:gid flag. With
> this parameter combinations, user will not have access to become root user.
> All docker exec command will be drop to uid:gid user to run instead of
> granting privileges. User can gain root privileges if container file system
> contains files that give user extra power, but this type of image is
> considered as dangerous. Non-privileged user can launch container with
> special bits to acquire same level of root power. Hence, we lose control of
> which image should be run with --privileges, and who have sudo rights to use
> privileged container images. As the result, we should check for sudo access
> then decide to parameterize --privileged=true OR --user=uid:gid. This will
> avoid leading developer down the wrong path.
