Kirk Lund commented on GEODE-9980:
----------------------------------
All changes are currently complete but I'm blocked from merging to develop
because one of two unit tests is unexpectedly setting a real process-wide
serial filter in the JVM which causes cascading failures. Both tests are
supposed to be using a mock api for setting a the serial filter so that nothing
real is configured.
> Startup of Locator or Server should fail fast if
> geode.enableGlobalSerialFilter is enabled but fails configuration

> Key: GEODE-9980
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-9980
> Project: Geode
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: serialization
> Affects Versions: 1.15.0
> Reporter: Kirk Lund
> Assignee: Kirk Lund
> Priority: Major
> Labels: GeodeOperationAPI, blocks-1.15.0, pull-request-available
>
> The following error conditions need better handling which includes handling
> of all errors consistently and cause the startup of a Locator or Server to
> fail if it's unable to honor the setting of
> {{-Dgeode.enableGlobalSerialFilter=true}} for any reason. Currently, if
> {{-Dgeode.enableGlobalSerialFilter=true}} is specified but Geode is unable to
> create a global serial filter, then it will will log a warning and continue
> running. A user may easily miss that log statement and believe that the JVM
> is running with a properly configured serialization filter.
> 1) The user is trying to secure the JVM very thoroughly and accidentally
> specifies both {{-Djdk.serialFilter}} and
> {{-Dgeode.enableGlobalSerialFilter}}.
> 2) The user runs some non-Geode code in the same JVM that invokes
> {{ObjectInputFilter.Config.setFilter(...)}} directly.
> 3) The user is using a version of Java 8 prior to 8u121 (the release that
> first added {{sun.misc.ObjectInputFilter}}) and specifies
> {{-Dgeode.enableGlobalSerialFilter=true}}. Also, the same behavior occurs if
> they do NOT specify enabling that property.
> 4) {{LocatorLauncher}} or {{ServerLauncher}} is started in a JVM that has
> already created at least one {{ObjectInputStream}} which will cause
> {{ObjectInputFilter.Config.setFilter(...)}} to fail.
> 5) {{LocatorLauncher}} or {{ServerLauncher}} is started in a Java 8 JVM that
> is not based on OpenJDK (ie {{sun.misc.ObjectInputFilter}} does not exist).
> 6) {{LocatorLauncher}} or {{ServerLauncher}} is started in an unforeseen
> environment that causes invocation of
> {{ObjectInputFilter.Config.setFilter(...)}} via Java Reflection to throw
> {{IllegalAccessException}}.
