Description
The PermissionAdmin service does not handle java.io.FilePermissions correctly that use the special "<<ALL FILES>>" syntax for the path. It needs to be special-cased in the org.apache.felix.framework.security.util.Permissions.implies(Permission, Bundle) method instead of being interpreted as a regular file name. I've tested that it's sufficient to wrap all the name/postfix handling in a "if (! "<<ALL FILES>>".equals(name))
{ ... }" block.
Affected Felix version is 1.4, because that's the last one that works with PermissionAdmin service. It would affect Felix 1.6 as well if that could be used at all (see bug Felix-1101).
I'm not sure if this qualifies as a "Major" bug, but there's no easy workaround (which the online docs say is what makes a "Minor" bug).
