KEYS: encrypted: fix key instantiation with user-provided data

2022-12-21T16:48:11+00:00

commit 5adedd42245af0860ebda8fe0949f24f5204c1b1 upstream. Commit cd3bc044af48 ("KEYS: encrypted: Instantiate key with user-provided decrypted data") added key instantiation with user provided decrypted data. The user data is hex-ascii-encoded but was just memcpy'ed to the binary buffer. Fix this to use hex2bin instead. Old keys created from user provided decrypted data saved with "keyctl pipe" are still valid, however if the key is recreated from decrypted data the old key must be converted to the correct format. This can be done with a small shell script, e.g.: BROKENKEY=abcdefABCDEF1234567890aaaaaaaaaa NEWKEY=$(echo -ne $BROKENKEY | xxd -p -c32) keyctl add user masterkey "$(cat masterkey.bin)" @u keyctl add encrypted testkey "new user:masterkey 32 $NEWKEY" @u However, NEWKEY is still broken: If for BROKENKEY 32 bytes were specified, a brute force attacker knowing the key properties would only need to try at most 2^(16*8) keys, as if the key was only 16 bytes long. The security issue is a result of the combination of limiting the input range to hex-ascii and using memcpy() instead of hex2bin(). It could have been fixed either by allowing binary input or using hex2bin() (and doubling the ascii input key length). This patch implements the latter. The corresponding test for the Linux Test Project ltp has also been fixed (see link below).

landlock: Fix documentation style

2022-09-29T16:43:04+00:00

It seems that all code should use double backquotes, which is also used to convert "%" defines. Let's use an homogeneous style and remove all use of simple backquotes (which should only be used for emphasis).

landlock: Slightly improve documentation and fix spelling

2022-09-29T16:43:03+00:00

Now that we have more than one ABI version, make limitation explanation more consistent by replacing "ABI 1" with "ABI < 2". This also indicates which ABIs support such past limitation. Improve documentation consistency by not using contractions. Fix spelling in fs.c .
