Both syscalls re-resolve the path at the time of the call, after FTS has classified the\nentry, and the trees being walked are owned and writable by the untrusted topology user.\n\nA tenant running code on a supervisor node could therefore replace an intermediate directory component with\na symbolic link between classification and the privileged operation, redirecting the root-owned `lchown` or\n`chmod` at an arbitrary file on the host. The operation is repeatable at will, since crashing a worker\nforces a relaunch and blob updates re-run the walk, so a failed attempt costs the attacker nothing.\n\nThis crosses the boundary that `supervisor.run.worker.as.user` and container isolation are intended to\nenforce. It is the same defect class as the Hadoop container-executor issues from which this code derives.\n\nMitigation\n\nUpgrade to 3.1.0, where the privileged walk operates on file descriptors it has already stat'd rather than\non pathnames re-resolved at call time.\n\nUsers who cannot upgrade immediately should not run untrusted topology code on supervisors configured with\n`supervisor.run.worker.as.user`, since the launcher is the boundary being crossed. Note that the launcher\nmust be rebuilt and reinstalled after upgrading; replacing the Java artifacts alone is not sufficient.\n\nCredit\n\nThe ASF -- found using Claude agents to study the security of open-source projects, validated and reported by Apache Storm.","published":"2026-09-14T15:17:09.807","modified":"2026-09-14T15:17:09.807","cvss":null,"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":null,"affectedPackages":[],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.apache.org/thread/9vjqrt28g0mxg304vw6pw46cx72v4rvq"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","NVD","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-09-14T15:17:09.807"}}
