A permission represents access to a system resource. In order for a resource access to be allowed for an applet (or an application running with a security manager), the corresponding permission must be explicitly granted to the code attempting the access.
A permission typically has a name (often referred to as a
"target name") and, in some cases, a comma-separated list of
one or more actions. For example, the following code
creates a FilePermission object representing read access to
the file named abc
in the /tmp
directory:
perm = new java.io.FilePermission("/tmp/abc", "read");In this, the target name is "/tmp/abc" and the action string is "read".
Important: The above statement creates a permission object. A permission object represents, but does not grant access to, a system resource. Permission objects are constructed and assigned ("granted") to code based on the policy in effect. When a permission object is assigned to some code, that code is granted the permission to access the system resource specified in the permission object, in the specified manner. A permission object may also be constructed by the current security manager when making access decisions. In this case, the (target) permission object is created based on the requested access, and checked against the permission objects granted to and held by the code making the request.
The policy for a Java application environment
is represented by a Policy object.
In the default Policy implementation, the policy
can be specified within one
or more policy configuration files.
The policy file(s) specify what
permissions are allowed for code from specified code sources.
A sample policy file entry granting code from
the /home/sysadmin
directory
read access to the file /tmp/abc
is
grant codeBase "file:/home/sysadmin/" { permission java.io.FilePermission "/tmp/abc", "read"; };
For information about policy file locations and granting permissions in policy files, see Default Policy Implementation and Policy File Syntax. For information about using the Policy Tool to specify the permissions, see the Policy Tool documentation (for Solaris) (for Windows). Using the Policy Tool saves typing and eliminates the need for you to know the required syntax of policy files.
Technically, whenever a resource access is attempted, all code traversed by the execution thread up to that point must have permission for that resource access, unless some code on the thread has been marked as "privileged." See API for Privileged Blocks for more information about "privileged" code.
This document contains tables that describe the built-in Java 2 SDK permission types and discuss the risks of granting each permission. It also contains tables showing the methods that require permissions to be in effect in order to be successful, and for each lists the required permission.
The tables are the following:
For more information about permissions, including the superclasses
java.security.Permission
and
java.security.BasicPermission
, and examples
of creating permission objects and granting permissions, see the
Security Architecture Specification.
The following tables describe the built-in Java 2 SDK permission types and discuss the risks of granting each permission.
AllPermission
Thejava.security.AllPermission
is a permission that implies all other permissions.Note: Granting
AllPermission
should be done with extreme care, as it implies all other permissions. Thus, it grants code the ability to run with security disabled. Extreme caution should be taken before granting such a permission to code. This permission should be used only during testing, or in extremely rare cases where an application or applet is completely trusted and adding the necessary permissions to the policy is prohibitively cumbersome.AudioPermission
TheAudioPermission
class represents access rights to the audio system resources. AnAudioPermission
contains a target name but no actions list; you either have the named permission or you don't.The target name is the name of the audio permission (see the table below). The names follow the hierarchical property-naming convention. Also, an asterisk can be used to represent all the audio permissions.
The following table lists the possible
AudioPermission
target name s. For each name, the table provides a description of exactly what that permission allows, as well as a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission.
Permission Target Name What the Permission Allows Risks of Allowing this Permission play Audio playback through the audio device or devices on the system. Allows the application to obtain and manipulate lines and mixers for audio playback (rendering). In some cases use of this permission may affect other applications because the audio from one line may be mixed with other audio being played on the system, or because manipulation of a mixer affects the audio for all lines using that mixer. record Audio recording through the audio device or devices on the system. Allows the application to obtain and manipulate lines and mixers for audio recording (capture). In some cases use of this permission may affect other applications because manipulation of a mixer affects the audio for all lines using that mixer. This permission can enable an applet or application to eavesdrop on a user. AWTPermission
Ajava.awt.AWTPermission
is for AWT permissions.The following table lists all the possible
AWTPermission
target names, and for each provides a description of what the permission allows and a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission.
java.awt.AWTPermission
Target NameWhat the Permission Allows Risks of Allowing this Permission accessClipboard Posting and retrieval of information to and from the AWT clipboard This would allow malfeasant code to share potentially sensitive or confidential information. accessEventQueue Access to the AWT event queue After retrieving the AWT event queue, malicious code may peek at and even remove existing events from the system, as well as post bogus events which may purposefully cause the application or applet to misbehave in an insecure manner. createRobot Create java.awt.Robot objects The java.awt.Robot object allows code to generate native-level mouse and keyboard events as well as read the screen. It could allow malicious code to control the system, run other programs, read the display, and deny mouse and keyboard access to the user. listenToAllAWTEvents Listen to all AWT events, system-wide After adding an AWT event listener, malicious code may scan all AWT events dispatched in the system, allowing it to read all user input (such as passwords). Each AWT event listener is called from within the context of that event queue's EventDispatchThread, so if the accessEventQueue permission is also enabled, malicious code could modify the contents of AWT event queues system-wide, causing the application or applet to misbehave in an insecure manner. readDisplayPixels Readback of pixels from the display screen Interfaces such as the java.awt.Composite interface which allow arbitrary code to examine pixels on the display enable malicious code to snoop on the activities of the user. showWindowWithoutWarningBanner Display of a window without also displaying a banner warning that the window was created by an applet Without this warning, an applet may pop up windows without the user knowing that they belong to an applet. Since users may make security-sensitive decisions based on whether or not the window belongs to an applet (entering a username and password into a dialog box, for example), disabling this warning banner may allow applets to trick the user into entering such information. FilePermission
Ajava.io.FilePermission
represents access to a file or directory. AFilePermission
consists of a pathname and a set of actions valid for that pathname.Pathname is the pathname of the file or directory granted the specified actions. A pathname that ends in "/*" (where "/" is the file separator character,
File.separatorChar
) indicates a directory and all the files contained in that directory. A pathname that ends with "/-" indicates a directory and (recursively) all files and subdirectories contained in that directory. A pathname consisting of the special token "<<ALL FILES>>" matchesany file.A pathname consisting of a single "*" indicates all the files in the current directory, while a pathname consisting of a single "-" indicates all the files in the current directory and (recursively) all files and subdirectories contained in the current directory.
The actions to be granted are passed to the constructor in a string containing a list of zero or more comma-separated keywords. The possible keywords are "read", "write", "execute", and "delete". Their meaning is defined as follows:
- read
- Permission to read.
- write
- Permission to write (which includes permission to create).
- execute
- Permission to execute. Allows
Runtime.exec
to be called. Corresponds toSecurityManager.checkExec
.- delete
- Permission to delete. Allows
File.delete
to be called. Corresponds toSecurityManager.checkDelete
.The actions string is converted to lowercase before processing.
Be careful when granting
FilePermission
s. Think about the implications of granting read and especially write access to various files and directories. The "<<ALL FILES>>" permission with write action is especially dangerous. This grants permission to write to the entire file system. One thing this effectively allows is replacement of the system binary, including the JVM runtime environment.Please note: code can always read a file from the same directory it's in (or a subdirectory of that directory); it does not need explicit permission to do so.
NetPermission
Ajava.net.NetPermission
is for various network permissions. ANetPermission
contains a name but no actions list; you either have the named permission or you don't.The following table lists all the possible NetPermission target names, and for each provides a description of what the permission allows and a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission.
java.net.NetPermission
Target NameWhat the Permission Allows Risks of Allowing this Permission setDefaultAuthenticator The ability to set the way authentication information is retrieved when a proxy or HTTP server asks for authentication Malicious code can set an authenticator that monitors and steals user authentication input as it retrieves the input from the user. requestPasswordAuthentication The ability to ask the authenticator registered with the system for a password Malicious code may steal this password. specifyStreamHandler The ability to specify a stream handler when constructing a URL Malicious code may create a URL with resources that it would normally not have access to (like file:/foo/fum/), specifying a stream handler that gets the actual bytes from someplace it does have access to. Thus it might be able to trick the system into creating a ProtectionDomain/CodeSource for a class even though that class really didn't come from that location. PropertyPermission
Ajava.util.PropertyPermission
is for property permissions.The name is the name of the property ("java.home", "os.name", etc). The naming convention follows the hierarchical property naming convention. Also, an asterisk may appear at the end of the name, following a ".", or by itself, to signify a wildcard match. For example: "java.*" or "*" is valid, "*java" or "a*b" is not valid.
The actions to be granted are passed to the constructor in a string containing a list of zero or more comma-separated keywords. The possible keywords are "read" and "write". Their meaning is defined as follows:
- read
- Permission to read. Allows
System.getProperty
to be called.- write
- Permission to write. Allows
System.setProperty
to be called.The actions string is converted to lowercase before processing.
Care should be taken before granting code permission to access certain system properties. For example, granting permission to access the "java.home" system property gives potentially malevolent code sensitive information about the system environment (the location of the runtime environment's directory). Also, granting permission to access the "user.name" and "user.home" system properties gives potentially malevolent code sensitive information about the user environment (the user's account name and home directory).
ReflectPermission
Ajava.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission
is for reflective operations. A ReflectPermission is a named permission and has no actions. The only name currently defined is suppressAccessChecks, which allows suppressing the standard language access checks -- for public, default (package) access, protected, and private members -- performed by reflected objects at their point of use.The following table provides a summary description of what the permission allows, and discusses the risks of granting code the permission.
java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission
Target NameWhat the Permission Allows Risks of Allowing this Permission suppressAccessChecks The ability to access fields and invoke methods in a class. Note that this includes not only public, but protected and private fields and methods as well. This is dangerous in that information (possibly confidential) and methods normally unavailable would be accessible to malicious code. RuntimePermission
Ajava.lang.RuntimePermission
is for runtime permissions. ARuntimePermission
contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but no actions list; you either have the named permission or you don't.The target name is the name of the runtime permission (see below). The naming convention follows the hierarchical property naming convention. Also, an asterisk may appear at the end of the name, following a ".", or by itself, to signify a wildcard match. For example: "loadLibrary.*" or "*" is valid, "*loadLibrary" or "a*b" is not valid.
The following table lists all the possible
RuntimePermission
target names, and for each provides a description of what the permission allows and a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission.
java.lang.RuntimePermission
Target NameWhat the Permission Allows Risks of Allowing this Permission createClassLoader Creation of a class loader This is an extremely dangerous permission to grant. Malicious applications that can instantiate their own class loaders could then load their own rogue classes into the system. These newly loaded classes could be placed into any protection domain by the class loader, thereby automatically granting the classes the permissions for that domain. getClassLoader Retrieval of a class loader (e.g., the class loader for the calling class) This would grant an attacker permission to get the class loader for a particular class. This is dangerous because having access to a class's class loader allows the attacker to load other classes available to that class loader. The attacker would typically otherwise not have access to those classes. setContextClassLoader Setting of the context class loader used by a thread The context class loader is used by system code and extensions when they need to lookup resources that might not exist in the system class loader. Granting setContextClassLoader permission would allow code to change which context class loader is used for a particular thread, including system threads. setSecurityManager Setting of the security manager (possibly replacing an existing one) The security manager is a class that allows applications to implement a security policy. Granting the setSecurityManager permission would allow code to change which security manager is used by installing a different, possibly less restrictive security manager, thereby bypassing checks that would have been enforced by the original security manager. createSecurityManager Creation of a new security manager This gives code access to protected, sensitive methods that may disclose information about other classes or the execution stack. exitVM Halting of the Java Virtual Machine This allows an attacker to mount a denial-of-service attack by automatically forcing the virtual machine to halt. shutdownHooks Registration and cancellation of virtual-machine shutdown hooks This allows an attacker to register a malicious shutdown hook that interferes with the clean shutdown of the virtual machine. setFactory Setting of the socket factory used by ServerSocket or Socket, or of the stream handler factory used by URL This allows code to set the actual implementation for the socket, server socket, stream handler, or RMI socket factory. An attacker may set a faulty implementation which mangles the data stream. setIO Setting of System.out, System.in, and System.err This allows changing the value of the standard system streams. An attacker may change System.in to monitor and steal user input, or may set System.err to a "null" OutputSteam, which would hide any error messages sent to System.err. modifyThread stop, suspend
,resume
,setPriority
, andsetName
methodsThis allows an attacker to start or suspend any thread in the system. stopThread Stopping of threads via calls to the Thread stop
methodThis allows code to stop any thread in the system provided that it is already granted permission to access that thread. This poses as a threat, because that code may corrupt the system by killing existing threads. modifyThreadGroup Modification of thread groups, e.g., via calls to ThreadGroup destroy
,resume
,setDaemon
,setMaxPriority
,stop
, andsuspend
methodsThis allows an attacker to create thread groups and set their run priority. getProtectionDomain Retrieval of the ProtectionDomain for a class This allows code to obtain policy information for a particular code source. While obtaining policy information does not compromise the security of the system, it does give attackers additional information, such as local file names for example, to better aim an attack. readFileDescriptor Reading of file descriptors This would allow code to read the particular file associated with the file descriptor read. This is dangerous if the file contains confidential data. writeFileDescriptor Writing to file descriptors This allows code to write to a particular file associated with the descriptor. This is dangerous because it may allow malicous code to plant viruses or at the very least, fill up your entire disk. loadLibrary.{library name} Dynamic linking of the specified library It is dangerous to allow an applet permission to load native code libraries, because the Java security architecture is not designed to and does not prevent malicious behavior at the level of native code. accessClassInPackage.{package name} Access to the specified package via a class loader's loadClass
method when that class loader calls the SecurityManagercheckPackageAcesss
methodThis gives code access to classes in packages to which it normally does not have access. Malicious code may use these classes to help in its attempt to compromise security in the system. defineClassInPackage.{package name} Definition of classes in the specified package, via a class loader's defineClass
method when that class loader calls the SecurityManagercheckPackageDefinition
method.This grants code permission to define a class in a particular package. This is dangerous because malicious code with this permission may define rogue classes in trusted packages like java.security
orjava.lang
, for example.accessDeclaredMembers Access to the declared members of a class This grants code permission to query a class for its public, protected, default (package) access, and private fields and/or methods. Although the code would have access to the private and protected field and method names, it would not have access to the private/protected field data and would not be able to invoke any private methods. Nevertheless, malicious code may use this information to better aim an attack. Additionally, it may invoke any public methods and/or access public fields in the class. This could be dangerous if the code would normally not be able to invoke those methods and/or access the fields because it can't cast the object to the class/interface with those methods and fields. queuePrintJob Initiation of a print job request This could print sensitive information to a printer, or simply waste paper. SecurityPermission
Ajava.security.SecurityPermission
is for security permissions. ASecurityPermission
contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but no actions list; you either have the named permission or you don't.The target name is the name of a security configuration parameter (see below). Currently the
SecurityPermission
object is used to guard access to the Policy, Security, Provider, Signer, and Identity objects.The following table lists all the possible
SecurityPermission
target names, and for each provides a description of what the permission allows and a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission.
java.security.SecurityPermission
Target NameWhat the Permission Allows Risks of Allowing this Permission createAccessControlContext Creation of an AccessControlContext This allows someone to instantiate an AccessControlContext with a DomainCombiner. Since DomainCombiners are given a reference to the ProtectionDomains currently on the stack, this could potentially lead to a privacy leak if the DomainCombiner is malicious. getDomainCombiner Retrieval of an AccessControlContext's DomainCombiner This allows someone to query the policy via the getPermissions call, which discloses which permissions would be granted to a given CodeSource. While revealing the policy does not compromise the security of the system, it does provide malicious code with additional information which it may use to better aim an attack. It is wise not to divulge more information than necessary. getPolicy Retrieval of the system-wide security policy (specifically, of the currently-installed Policy object) This allows someone to query the policy via the getPermissions
call, which discloses which permissions would be granted to a given CodeSource. While revealing the policy does not compromise the security of the system, it does provide malicious code with additional information which it may use to better aim an attack. It is wise not to divulge more information than necessary.setPolicy Setting of the system-wide security policy (specifically, the Policy object) Granting this permission is extremely dangerous, as malicious code may grant itself all the necessary permissions it needs to successfully mount an attack on the system. getProperty.{key} Retrieval of the security property with the specified key Depending on the particular key for which access has been granted, the code may have access to the list of security providers, as well as the location of the system-wide and user security policies. while revealing this information does not compromise the security of the system, it does provide malicious code with additional information which it may use to better aim an attack. setProperty.{key} Setting of the security property with the specified key This could include setting a security provider or defining the location of the the system-wide security policy. Malicious code that has permission to set a new security provider may set a rogue provider that steals confidential information such as cryptographic private keys. In addition, malicious code with permission to set the location of the system-wide security policy may point it to a security policy that grants the attacker all the necessary permissions it requires to successfully mount an attack on the system. insertProvider.{provider name} Addition of a new provider, with the specified name This would allow somebody to introduce a possibly malicious provider (e.g., one that discloses the private keys passed to it) as the highest-priority provider. This would be possible because the Security object (which manages the installed providers) currently does not check the integrity or authenticity of a provider before attaching it. removeProvider.{provider name} Removal of the specified provider This may change the behavior or disable execution of other parts of the program. If a provider subsequently requested by the program has been removed, execution may fail. Also, if the removed provider is not explicitly requested by the rest of the program, but it would normally be the provider chosen when a cryptography service is requested (due to its previous order in the list of providers), a different provider will be chosen instead, or no suitable provider will be found, thereby resulting in program failure. setSystemScope Setting of the system identity scope This would allow an attacker to configure the system identity scope with certificates that should not be trusted, thereby granting applet or application code signed with those certificates privileges that would have been denied by the system's original identity scope setIdentityPublicKey Setting of the public key for an Identity If the identity is marked as "trusted", this allows an attacker to introduce a different public key (e.g., its own) that is not trusted by the system's identity scope, thereby granting applet or application code signed with that public key privileges that would have been denied otherwise. setIdentityInfo Setting of a general information string for an Identity This allows attackers to set the general description for an identity. This may trick applications into using a different identity than intended or may prevent applications from finding a particular identity. addIdentityCertificate Addition of a certificate for an Identity This allows attackers to set a certificate for an identity's public key. This is dangerous because it affects the trust relationship across the system. This public key suddenly becomes trusted to a wider audience than it otherwise would be. removeIdentityCertificate Removal of a certificate for an Identity This allows attackers to remove a certificate for an identity's public key. This is dangerous because it affects the trust relationship across the system. This public key suddenly becomes considered less trustworthy than it otherwise would be. printIdentity Viewing the name of a principal and optionally the scope in which it is used, and whether or not it is considered "trusted" in that scope. The scope that is printed out may be a filename, in which case it may convey local system information. For example, here's a sample printout of an identity named "carol", who is marked not trusted in the user's identity database:
carol[/home/luehe/identitydb.obj][not trusted]clearProviderProperties.{provider name} "Clearing" of a Provider so that it no longer contains the properties used to look up services implemented by the provider This disables the lookup of services implemented by the provider. This may thus change the behavior or disable execution of other parts of the program that would normally utilize the Provider, as described under the "removeProvider.{provider name}" permission. putProviderProperty.{provider name} Setting of properties for the specified Provider The provider properties each specify the name and location of a particular service implemented by the provider. By granting this permission, you let code replace the service specification with another one, thereby specifying a different implementation. removeProviderProperty.{provider name} Removal of properties from the specified Provider This disables the lookup of services implemented by the provider. They are no longer accessible due to removal of the properties specifying their names and locations. This may change the behavior or disable execution of other parts of the program that would normally utilize the Provider, as described under the "removeProvider.{provider name}" permission. getSignerPrivateKey Retrieval of a Signer's private key It is very dangerous to allow access to a private key; private keys are supposed to be kept secret. Otherwise, code can use the private key to sign various files and claim the signature came from the Signer. setSignerKeyPair Setting of the key pair (public key and private key) for a Signer This would allow an attacker to replace somebody else's (the "target's") keypair with a possibly weaker keypair (e.g., a keypair of a smaller keysize). This also would allow the attacker to listen in on encrypted communication between the target and its peers. The target's peers might wrap an encryption session key under the target's "new" public key, which would allow the attacker (who possesses the corresponding private key) to unwrap the session key and decipher the communication data encrypted under that session key. SerializablePermission
Ajava.io.SerializablePermission
is for serializable permissions. ASerializablePermission
contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but no actions list; you either have the named permission or you don't.The target name is the name of the Serializable permission (see below).
The following table lists all the possible
SerializablePermission
target names, and for each provides a description of what the permission allows and a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission.
java.io.SerializablePermission
Target NameWhat the Permission Allows Risks of Allowing this Permission enableSubclassImplementation Implementing a subclass of ObjectOutputStream or ObjectInputStream to override the default serialization or deserialization, respectively, of objects Code can use this to serialize or deserialize classes in a purposefully malfeasant manner. For example, during serialization, malicious code can use this to purposefully store confidential private field data in a way easily accessible to attackers. Or, during deserializaiton it could, for example, deserialize a class with all its private fields zeroed out. enableSubstitution Substitution of one object for another during serialization or deserialization This is dangerous because malicious code can replace the actual object with one which has incorrect or malignant data. SocketPermission
Ajava.net.SocketPermission
represents access to a network via sockets. A SocketPermission consists of a host specification and a set of "actions" specifying ways to connect to that host. The host is specified ashost = (hostname | IPaddress)[:portrange] portrange = portnumber | -portnumber | portnumber-[portnumber]The host is expressed as a DNS name, as a numerical IP address, or as "localhost" (for the local machine). The wildcard "*" may be included once in a DNS name host specification. If it is included, it must be in the leftmost position, as in "*.sun.com".The port or portrange is optional. A port specification of the form "N-", where N is a port number, signifies all ports numbered N and above, while a specification of the form "-N" indicates all ports numbered N and below.
The possible ways to connect to the host are
accept connect listen resolveThe "listen" action is only meaningful when used with "localhost". The "resolve" (resolve host/ip name service lookups) action is implied when any of the other actions are present.As an example of the creation and meaning of SocketPermissions, note that if you have the following entry in your policy file:
grant signedBy "mrm" { permission java.net.SocketPermission "puffin.eng.sun.com:7777", "connect, accept"; };this causes the following permission object to be generated and granted to code signed by "mrm."p1 = new SocketPermission("puffin.eng.sun.com:7777", "connect,accept");p1
represents a permission allowing connections to port 7777 onpuffin.eng.sun.com
, and also accepting connections on that port.Similarly, if you have the following entry in your policy:
grant signedBy "paul" { permission java.net.SocketPermission "localhost:1024-", "accept, connect, listen"; };this causes the following permission object to be generated and granted to code signed by "paul."p2 = new SocketPermission("localhost:1024-", "accept,connect,listen");p2
represents a permission allowing accepting connections on, connecting to, or listening on any port between 1024 and 65535 on the local host.Note: Granting code permission to accept or make connections to remote hosts may be dangerous because malevolent code can then more easily transfer and share confidential data among parties who may not otherwise have access to the data.
SQLPermission
The permission for which theSecurityManager
will check when code that is running in an applet calls one of thesetLogWriter
methods. These methods include those in the following list.If there is no
DriverManager.setLogWriter
DriverManager.setLogStream
(deprecated)
javax.sql.DataSource.setLogWriter
javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource.setLogWriter
javax.sql.XADataSource.setLogWriter
SQLPermission
object, this method throws ajava.lang.SecurityException
as a runtime exception.A
SQLPermission
object contains a name (also referred to as a "target name") but no actions list; there is either a named permission or there is not. The target name is the name of the permission (see below). The naming convention follows the hierarchical property naming convention. In addition, an asterisk may appear at the end of the name, following a ".", or by itself, to signify a wildcard match. For example:loadLibrary.*
or*
is valid, but*loadLibrary
ora*b
is not valid.The following table lists all the possible
SQLPermission
target na mes. Currently, the only name allowed issetLog
. The table gives a description of what the permission allows and a discussion of the risks of granting code the permission.
Permission Target Name What the Permission Allows Risks of Allowing this Permission setLog Setting of the logging stream This is a dangerous permission to grant. The contents of the log may contain usernames and passwords, SQL statements, and SQL data. The person running an applet decides what permissions to allow and will run the
Policy Tool
to create anSQLPermission
in a policy file. A programmer does not use a constructor directly to create an instance ofSQLPermission
but rather uses a tool.
The following table contains a list of all the Java 2 SDK methods that require permissions, and for each tells which SecurityManager method it calls and which permission is checked for by the default implementation of that SecurityManager method.
Thus, with the default SecurityManager method implementations, a call to a method in the left-hand column can only be successful if the permission specified in the corresponding entry in the right-hand column is allowed by the policy currently in effect. For example, the following row:
Method SecurityManager Method Called Permission java.awt.Toolkit getSystemEventQueue();checkAwtEventQueueAccess java.awt.AWTPermission "accessEventQueue"; specifies that a call to the
getSystemEventQueue
method in thejava.awt.Toolkit
class results in a call to thecheckAwtEventQueueAccess
SecurityManager method, which can only be successful if the following permission is granted to code on the call stack:java.awt.AWTPermission "accessEventQueue";The convention of:
Method SecurityManager Method Called Permission some.package.class public static void someMethod(String foo);checkXXX SomePermission "{foo}"; means the runtime value of
foo
replaces the string{foo}
in the permission name.As an example, here is one table entry:
Method SecurityManager Method Called Permission java.io.FileInputStream FileInputStream(String name)checkRead(String) java.io.FilePermission "{name}", "read"; If the
FileInputStream
method (in this case, a constructor) is called with "/test/MyTestFile" as thename
argument, as inFileInputStream("/test/MyTestFile");then in order for the call to succeed, the following permission must be set in the current policy, allowing read access to the file "/test/MyTestFile":java.io.FilePermission "/test/MyTestFile", "read";More specifically, the permission must either be explicitly set, as above, or implied by another permission, such as the following:java.io.FilePermission "/test/*", "read";which allows read access to any files in the "/test" directory.In some cases, a term in braces is not exactly the same as the name of a specific method argument but is meant to represent the relevant value. Here is an example:
Method SecurityManager Method Called Permission java.net.DatagramSocket public synchronized void receive(DatagramPacket p);checkAccept({host}, {port}) java.net.SocketPermission "{host}:{port}", "accept"; Here, the appropriate host and port values are calculated by the
receive
method and passed tocheckAccept
.In most cases, just the name of the SecurityManager method called is listed. Where the method is one of multiple methods of the same name, the argument types are also listed, for example for
checkRead(String)
andcheckRead(FileDescriptor)
. In other cases where arguments may be relevant, they are also listed.The following table is ordered by package name. That is, the methods in classes in the
java.awt
package are listed first, followed by methods in classes in thejava.io
package, and so on.
Method | SecurityManager Method Called | Permission |
---|---|---|
java.awt.Graphics2d public abstract void setComposite(Composite comp) | checkPermission | java.awt.AWTPermission "readDisplayPixels"
if this Graphics2D context is drawing to a
Component on the display screen and the
Composite is a custom object rather than an
instance of the AlphaComposite class.
Note: The setComposite method is actually
abstract and thus can't invoke security checks.
Each actual implementation of the method should call
the java.lang.SecurityManager checkPermission method
with a
java.awt.AWTPermission("readDisplayPixels") permission
under the conditions noted.
|
java.awt.Robot public Robot() public Robot(GraphicsDevice screen) | checkPermission | java.awt.AWTPermission "createRobot" |
java.awt.Toolkit public void addAWTEventListener( AWTEventListener listener, long eventMask) public void removeAWTEventListener( AWTEventListener listener) | checkPermission | java.awt.AWTPermission "listenToAllAWTEvents"
|
java.awt.Toolkit public abstract PrintJob getPrintJob( Frame frame, String jobtitle, Properties props) | checkPrintJobAccess | java.lang.RuntimePermission "queuePrintJob" Note: The getPrintJob method is actually abstract and thus can't invoke security checks. Each actual implementation of the method should call the java.lang.SecurityManager checkPrintJobAccess method, which is successful only if the java.lang.RuntimePermission "queuePrintJob" permission is currently allowed. |

This table shows which permissions are checked for by the
default implementations of the
java.lang.SecurityManager
methods.
Each of the specified check
methods calls the
SecurityManager
checkPermission
method with the specified permission,
except for the checkConnect
and checkRead
methods that take a context argument.
Those methods expect the context to be an AccessControlContext
and they call the context's checkPermission
method
with the specified permission.
