Description Andrej Nemec 2016-01-29 11:58:02 UTC

The following flaw was reported in Apache Hive:

Some partition-level operations exist that do not explicitly also
authorize privileges of the parent table. This can lead to issues when
the parent table would have denied the operation, but no denial occurs
because the partition-level privilege is not checked by the
authorization framework, which defines authorization entities only
from the table level upwards.

This issue is known to affect Hive clusters protected by both Ranger
as well as SqlStdHiveAuthorization.
