KEYS: prevent creating a different user's keyrings

2017-09-25T14:19:57+00:00

It was possible for an unprivileged user to create the user and user session keyrings for another user. For example: sudo -u '#3000' sh -c 'keyctl add keyring _uid.4000 "" @u keyctl add keyring _uid_ses.4000 "" @u sleep 15' & sleep 1 sudo -u '#4000' keyctl describe @u sudo -u '#4000' keyctl describe @us This is problematic because these "fake" keyrings won't have the right permissions. In particular, the user who created them first will own them and will have full access to them via the possessor permissions, which can be used to compromise the security of a user's keys: -4: alswrv-----v------------ 3000 0 keyring: _uid.4000 -5: alswrv-----v------------ 3000 0 keyring: _uid_ses.4000 Fix it by marking user and user session keyrings with a flag KEY_FLAG_UID_KEYRING. Then, when searching for a user or user session keyring by name, skip all keyrings that don't have the flag set.

Pull structure randomization updates from Kees Cook: "Now that IPC and other changes have landed, enable manual markings for randstruct plugin, including the task_struct. This is the rest of what was staged in -next for the gcc-plugins, and comes in three patches, largest first: - mark "easy" structs with __randomize_layout - mark task_struct with an optional anonymous struct to isolate the __randomize_layout section - mark structs to opt _out_ of automated marking (which will come later) And, FWIW, this continues to pass allmodconfig (normal and patched to enable gcc-plugins) builds of x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, and s390 for me" * tag 'gcc-plugins-v4.13-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux: randstruct: opt-out externally exposed function pointer structs task_struct: Allow randomized layout randstruct: Mark various structs for randomization

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

sched/wait: Split out the wait_bit*() APIs from into

2017-06-20T10:19:09+00:00

The wait_bit*() types and APIs are mixed into wait.h, but they are a pretty orthogonal extension of wait-queues. Furthermore, only about 50 kernel files use these APIs, while over 1000 use the regular wait-queue functionality. So clean up the main wait.h by moving the wait-bit functionality out of it, into a separate .h and .c file: include/linux/wait_bit.h for types and APIs kernel/sched/wait_bit.c for the implementation Update all header dependencies. This reduces the size of wait.h rather significantly, by about 30%. Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

KEYS: add SP800-56A KDF support for DH

2017-04-04T21:33:38+00:00

SP800-56A defines the use of DH with key derivation function based on a counter. The input to the KDF is defined as (DH shared secret || other information). The value for the "other information" is to be provided by the caller. The KDF is implemented using the hash support from the kernel crypto API. The implementation uses the symmetric hash support as the input to the hash operation is usually very small. The caller is allowed to specify the hash name that he wants to use to derive the key material allowing the use of all supported hashes provided with the kernel crypto API. As the KDF implements the proper truncation of the DH shared secret to the requested size, this patch fills the caller buffer up to its size. The patch is tested with a new test added to the keyutils user space code which uses a CAVS test vector testing the compliance with SP800-56A.

KEYS: Add KEYCTL_RESTRICT_KEYRING

2017-04-04T21:10:12+00:00

Keyrings recently gained restrict_link capabilities that allow individual keys to be validated prior to linking. This functionality was only available using internal kernel APIs. With the KEYCTL_RESTRICT_KEYRING command existing keyrings can be configured to check the content of keys before they are linked, and then allow or disallow linkage of that key to the keyring. To restrict a keyring, call: keyctl(KEYCTL_RESTRICT_KEYRING, key_serial_t keyring, const char *type, const char *restriction) where 'type' is the name of a registered key type and 'restriction' is a string describing how key linkage is to be restricted. The restriction option syntax is specific to each key type. Signed-off-by: Mat Martineau

KEYS: Use structure to capture key restriction function and data

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

Replace struct key's restrict_link function pointer with a pointer to the new struct key_restriction. The structure contains pointers to the restriction function as well as relevant data for evaluating the restriction. The garbage collector checks restrict_link->keytype when key types are unregistered. Restrictions involving a removed key type are converted to use restrict_link_reject so that restrictions cannot be removed by unregistering key types. Signed-off-by: Mat Martineau

security, keys: convert key_user.usage from atomic_t to refcount_t

2017-04-03T00:49:06+00:00

refcount_t type and corresponding API should be used instead of atomic_t when the variable is used as a reference counter. This allows to avoid accidental refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free situations.

KEYS: Add placeholder for KDF usage with DH

2016-06-03T06:14:34+00:00

The values computed during Diffie-Hellman key exchange are often used in combination with key derivation functions to create cryptographic keys. Add a placeholder for a later implementation to configure a key derivation function that will transform the Diffie-Hellman result returned by the KEYCTL_DH_COMPUTE command. [This patch was stripped down from a patch produced by Mat Martineau that had a bug in the compat code - so for the moment Stephan's patch simply requires that the placeholder argument must be NULL] Original-signed-off-by: Mat Martineau Signed-off-by: Stephan Mueller Signed-off-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: James Morris
