URGENT: RE: RFR(XS): 8057564: JVM hangs at getAgentProperties after attaching to VM with lower IntegrityLevel

[Sergey Gabdurakhmanov]

Hi,

New version of the fix for review:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sgabdura/8057564/webrev.02/

Now I add security descriptor with read/write permissions to everybody 
and full control to system and administrators.

BR,
Sergey
