security: keys: Replace time_t with time64_t for struct key_preparsed_payload

2017-11-15T16:38:45+00:00

The 'struct key_preparsed_payload' will use 'time_t' which we will try to remove in the kernel, since 'time_t' is not year 2038 safe on 32bits systems. Thus this patch replaces 'time_t' with 'time64_t' which is year 2038 safe on 32 bits system for 'struct key_preparsed_payload', moreover we should use the 'TIME64_MAX' macro to initialize the 'time64_t' type variable.

randstruct: Mark various structs for randomization

2017-06-30T19:00:51+00:00

This marks many critical kernel structures for randomization. These are structures that have been targeted in the past in security exploits, or contain functions pointers, pointers to function pointer tables, lists, workqueues, ref-counters, credentials, permissions, or are otherwise sensitive. This initial list was extracted from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code. Left out of this list is task_struct, which requires special handling and will be covered in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

KEYS: Add an optional lookup_restriction hook to key_type

2017-04-04T21:10:11+00:00

The restrict_link functions used to validate keys as they are linked to a keyring can be associated with specific key types. Each key type may be loaded (or not) at runtime, so lookup of restrict_link functions needs to be part of the key type implementation to ensure that the requested keys can be examined.

KEYS: Remove KEY_FLAG_TRUSTED and KEY_ALLOC_TRUSTED

2016-04-11T21:44:15+00:00

Remove KEY_FLAG_TRUSTED and KEY_ALLOC_TRUSTED as they're no longer meaningful. Also we can drop the trusted flag from the preparse structure. Given this, we no longer need to pass the key flags through to restrict_link(). Further, we can now get rid of keyring_restrict_trusted_only() also. Signed-off-by: David Howells

KEYS: Merge the type-specific data with the payload data

2015-10-21T14:18:36+00:00

Merge the type-specific data with the payload data into one four-word chunk as it seems pointless to keep them separate. Use user_key_payload() for accessing the payloads of overloaded user-defined keys.

KEYS: Make the key matching functions return bool

Make the key matching functions pointed to by key_match_data::cmp return bool rather than int. Signed-off-by: David Howells Acked-by: Vivek Goyal

KEYS: Remove key_type::match in favour of overriding default by match_preparse

2014-09-16T16:36:06+00:00

A previous patch added a ->match_preparse() method to the key type. This is allowed to override the function called by the iteration algorithm. Therefore, we can just set a default that simply checks for an exact match of the key description with the original criterion data and allow match_preparse to override it as needed. The key_type::match op is then redundant and can be removed, as can the user_match() function. Signed-off-by: David Howells Acked-by: Vivek Goyal

KEYS: Remove key_type::def_lookup_type

2014-09-16T16:36:04+00:00

Remove key_type::def_lookup_type as it's no longer used. The information now defaults to KEYRING_SEARCH_LOOKUP_DIRECT but may be overridden by type->match_preparse(). Signed-off-by: David Howells Acked-by: Vivek Goyal

KEYS: Preparse match data

2014-09-16T16:36:02+00:00

Preparse the match data. This provides several advantages: (1) The preparser can reject invalid criteria up front. (2) The preparser can convert the criteria to binary data if necessary (the asymmetric key type really wants to do binary comparison of the key IDs). (3) The preparser can set the type of search to be performed. This means that it's not then a one-off setting in the key type. (4) The preparser can set an appropriate comparator function.
