[ovs-dev] [PATCH] Grant Access Privilege of Named Pipe to Creator

[Ning Wu]

Current implementation of ovs on windows only allows LocalSystem and
Administrators to access the named pipe created with API of ovs.
Thus any service that needs to invoke the API to create named pipe
has to run as System account to interactive with ovs. It causes the
system more vulnerable if one of those services was break into.
The patch adds the creator owner account to allowed ACLs.
