KEYS: return full count in keyring_read() if buffer is too small

2017-11-08T09:17:16+00:00

commit 3239b6f29bdfb4b0a2ba59df995fc9e6f4df7f1f upstream. Commit e645016abc80 ("KEYS: fix writing past end of user-supplied buffer in keyring_read()") made keyring_read() stop corrupting userspace memory when the user-supplied buffer is too small. However it also made the return value in that case be the short buffer size rather than the size required, yet keyctl_read() is actually documented to return the size required. Therefore, switch it over to the documented behavior. Note that for now we continue to have it fill the short buffer, since it did that before (pre-v3.13) and dump_key_tree_aux() in keyutils arguably relies on it.

KEYS: Fix race between updating and finding a negative key

2017-10-27T08:39:15+00:00

commit 363b02dab09b3226f3bd1420dad9c72b79a42a76 upstream. Consolidate KEY_FLAG_INSTANTIATED, KEY_FLAG_NEGATIVE and the rejection error into one field such that: (1) The instantiation state can be modified/read atomically. (2) The error can be accessed atomically with the state. (3) The error isn't stored unioned with the payload pointers. This deals with the problem that the state is spread over three different objects (two bits and a separate variable) and reading or updating them atomically isn't practical, given that not only can uninstantiated keys change into instantiated or rejected keys, but rejected keys can also turn into instantiated keys - and someone accessing the key might not be using any locking. The main side effect of this problem is that what was held in the payload may change, depending on the state. For instance, you might observe the key to be in the rejected state. You then read the cached error, but if the key semaphore wasn't locked, the key might've become instantiated between the two reads - and you might now have something in hand that isn't actually an error code. The state is now KEY_IS_UNINSTANTIATED, KEY_IS_POSITIVE or a negative error code if the key is negatively instantiated. The key_is_instantiated() function is replaced with key_is_positive() to avoid confusion as negative keys are also 'instantiated'. Additionally, barriering is included: (1) Order payload-set before state-set during instantiation. (2) Order state-read before payload-read when using the key. Further separate barriering is necessary if RCU is being used to access the payload content after reading the payload pointers.

KEYS: prevent creating a different user's keyrings

2017-10-05T07:47:28+00:00

commit 237bbd29f7a049d310d907f4b2716a7feef9abf3 upstream. 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.

KEYS: fix writing past end of user-supplied buffer in keyring_read()

2017-10-05T07:47:28+00:00

commit e645016abc803dafc75e4b8f6e4118f088900ffb upstream. Userspace can call keyctl_read() on a keyring to get the list of IDs of keys in the keyring. But if the user-supplied buffer is too small, the kernel would write the full list anyway --- which will corrupt whatever userspace memory happened to be past the end of the buffer. Fix it by only filling the space that is available.

security: use READ_ONCE instead of deprecated ACCESS_ONCE

2017-06-09T03:29:45+00:00

With the new standardized functions, we can replace all ACCESS_ONCE() calls across relevant security/keyrings/. ACCESS_ONCE() does not work reliably on non-scalar types. For example gcc 4.6 and 4.7 might remove the volatile tag for such accesses during the SRA (scalar replacement of aggregates) step: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145 Update the new calls regardless of if it is a scalar type, this is cleaner than having three alternatives.

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

KEYS: Split role of the keyring pointer for keyring restrict functions

2017-04-03T17:24:56+00:00

The first argument to the restrict_link_func_t functions was a keyring pointer. These functions are called by the key subsystem with this argument set to the destination keyring, but restrict_link_by_signature expects a pointer to the relevant trusted keyring. Restrict functions may need something other than a single struct key pointer to allow or reject key linkage, so the data used to make that decision (such as the trust keyring) is moved to a new, fourth argument. The first argument is now always the destination keyring. Signed-off-by: Mat Martineau

KEYS: Use a typedef for restrict_link function pointers

2017-04-03T17:24:55+00:00

This pointer type needs to be returned from a lookup function, and without a typedef the syntax gets cumbersome. Signed-off-by: Mat Martineau

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

2017-04-03T00:49:05+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.
