---------------------------------
Summary: Port winutils static code analysis change to trunk
Key: HADOOP-9443
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9443
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Reporter: Chuan Liu
Assignee: Chuan Liu
We hit a problem in winutils when running tests on Windows. The static code
analysis change will fix the problem. More specifically, the old code always
assumes the security descriptor get from GetSecurityDescriptorControl() is
relative, and will make an absolute security descriptor out of it. The new
absolute security descriptor will then pass to SetSecurityDescriptorDacl() to
set permissions on the file. If the security descriptor is absolute, the new
absolute security descriptor will be NULL, and we will run into the problem.
This is what happened exactly in our case. The fix from static code analysis
will solve the problem.
