Concurrency bug in JaasSecurityManager
--------------------------------------

                 Key: SECURITY-22
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/SECURITY-22
             Project: JBoss Security
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: JBossSX
    Affects Versions: 2.0
            Reporter: Alex Besogonov

JaasSecurityManager$DomainInfo.destroy calls logout() when cached entry expires, even while it is used by another thread.

Suppose we have two threads:

Thread 1:                                       
1. 'User1' authentication                    
2. 'User1' is added to auth cache
3. Doing some lengthy operation
4. Checking roles of User1 - WILL FAIL, another thread has called logout()!

Thread 2 (when Thread1 is doing 'some lengthy operation' ):
1. 'User1' logs in.
2. Auth cache entry has expired.
3. Calling .logout() on stale entry
