/**
* When a {@link java.lang.SecurityManager SecurityManager} set, this
* is the permission which will be checked when code invokes {@link
* VirtualMachine#attach VirtalMachine.attach} to attach to a target virtual
* machine.
* This permission is also checked when an {@link
* com.sun.tools.attach.spi.AttachProvider AttachProvider} is created.
*
* An AttachPermission object 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 following table provides a summary description of what the
* permission allows, and discusses the risks of granting code the
* permission.
*
*
*
* Permission Target Name
* What the Permission Allows
* Risks of Allowing this Permission
*
*
*
* attachVirtualMachine
* Ability to attach to another Java virtual machine and load agents
* into that VM.
*
* This allows an attacker to control the target VM which can potentially
* cause it to misbehave.
*
*
*
*
* createAttachProvider
* Ability to create an AttachProvider instance.
*
* This allows an attacker to create an AttachProvider which can
* potentially be used to attach to other Java virtual machines.
*
*
*
*
*
* Programmers do not normally create AttachPermission objects directly.
* Instead they are created by the security policy code based on reading
* the security policy file.
