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.

<title>KEYS: ensure we free the assoc array edit if edit is valid</title>

<content type='text'>
__key_link_end is not freeing the associated array edit structure
and this leads to a 512 byte memory leak each time an identical
existing key is added with add_key().

The reason the add_key() system call returns okay is that
key_create_or_update() calls __key_link_begin() before checking to see
whether it can update a key directly rather than adding/replacing - which
it turns out it can.  Thus __key_link() is not called through
__key_instantiate_and_link() and __key_link_end() must cancel the edit.

<title>KEYS: request_key() should reget expired keys rather than give EKEYEXPIRED</title>
<updated>2014-12-01T22:52:53+00:00</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:0b0a84154eff56913e91df29de5c3a03a0029e38</id>
<content type='text'>
Since the keyring facility can be viewed as a cache (at least in some
applications), the local expiration time on the key should probably be viewed
as a 'needs updating after this time' property rather than an absolute 'anyone
now wanting to use this object is out of luck' property.

Since request_key() is the main interface for the usage of keys, this should
update or replace an expired key rather than issuing EKEYEXPIRED if the local
expiration has been reached (ie. it should refresh the cache).

For absolute conditions where refreshing the cache probably doesn't help, the
key can be negatively instantiated using KEYCTL_REJECT_KEY with EKEYEXPIRED
given as the error to issue.  This will still cause request_key() to return
EKEYEXPIRED as that was explicitly set.

In the future, if the key type has an update op available, we might want to
upcall with the expired key and allow the upcall to update it.  We would pass
a different operation name (the first column in /etc/request-key.conf) to the
request-key program.

request_key() returning EKEYEXPIRED is causing an NFS problem which Chuck
Lever describes thusly:

	After about 10 minutes, my NFSv4 functional tests fail because the
	ownership of the test files goes to "-2". Looking at /proc/keys
	shows that the id_resolv keys that map to my test user ID have
	expired. The ownership problem persists until the expired keys are
	purged from the keyring, and fresh keys are obtained.

	I bisected the problem to 3.13 commit b2a4df200d57 ("KEYS: Expand
	the capacity of a keyring"). This commit inadvertantly changes the
	API contract of the internal function keyring_search_aux().

	The root cause appears to be that b2a4df200d57 made "no state check"
	the default behavior. "No state check" means the keyring search
	iterator function skips checking the key's expiry timeout, and
	returns expired keys.  request_key_and_link() depends on getting
	an -EAGAIN result code to know when to perform an upcall to refresh
	an expired key.

This patch can be tested directly by:

	keyctl request2 user debug:fred a @s
	keyctl timeout %user:debug:fred 3
	sleep 4
	keyctl request2 user debug:fred a @s

Without the patch, the last command gives error EKEYEXPIRED, but with the
command it gives a new key.

<title>KEYS: Simplify KEYRING_SEARCH_{NO,DO}_STATE_CHECK flags</title>

<id>urn:sha1:054f6180d8b5602b431b5924976c956e760488b1</id>
<content type='text'>
Simplify KEYRING_SEARCH_{NO,DO}_STATE_CHECK flags to be two variations of the
same flag.  They are effectively mutually exclusive and one or the other
should be provided, but not both.

Keyring cycle detection and key possession determination are the only things
that set NO_STATE_CHECK, except that neither flag really does anything there
because neither purpose makes use of the keyring_search_iterator() function,
but rather provides their own.

For cycle detection we definitely want to check inside of expired keyrings,
just so that we don't create a cycle we can't get rid of.  Revoked keyrings
are cleared at revocation time and can't then be reused, so shouldn't be a
problem either way.

For possession determination, we *might* want to validate each keyring before
searching it: do you possess a key that's hidden behind an expired or just
plain inaccessible keyring?  Currently, the answer is yes.  Note that you
cannot, however, possess a key behind a revoked keyring because they are
cleared on revocation.

keyring_search() sets DO_STATE_CHECK, which is correct.

request_key_and_link() currently doesn't specify whether to check the key
state or not - but it should set DO_STATE_CHECK.

key_get_instantiation_authkey() also currently doesn't specify whether to
check the key state or not - but it probably should also set DO_STATE_CHECK.

<title>KEYS: Remove key_type::match in favour of overriding default by match_preparse</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c06cfb08b88dfbe13be44a69ae2fdc3a7c902d81</id>
<content type='text'>
A previous patch added a -&gt;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.

<content type='text'>
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.

<title>KEYS: Move the flags representing required permission to linux/key.h</title>

Move the flags representing required permission to linux/key.h as the perm
parameter of security_key_permission() is in terms of them - and not the
permissions mask flags used in key-&gt;perm.

Whilst we're at it:

 (1) Rename them to be KEY_NEED_xxx rather than KEY_xxx to avoid collisions
     with symbols in uapi/linux/input.h.

 (2) Don't use key_perm_t for a mask of required permissions, but rather limit
     it to the permissions mask attached to the key and arguments related
     directly to that.

<title>KEYS: Make the keyring cycle detector ignore other keyrings of the same name</title>

<id>urn:sha1:979e0d74651ba5aa533277f2a6423d0f982fb6f6</id>
<content type='text'>
This fixes CVE-2014-0102.

The following command sequence produces an oops:

	keyctl new_session
	i=`keyctl newring _ses @s`
	keyctl link @s $i

The problem is that search_nested_keyrings() sees two keyrings that have
matching type and description, so keyring_compare_object() returns true.
s_n_k() then passes the key to the iterator function -
keyring_detect_cycle_iterator() - which *should* check to see whether this is
the keyring of interest, not just one with the same name.

Because assoc_array_find() will return one and only one match, I assumed that
the iterator function would only see an exact match or never be called - but
the iterator isn't only called from assoc_array_find()...

The oops looks something like this:

	kernel BUG at /data/fs/linux-2.6-fscache/security/keys/keyring.c:1003!
	invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
	...
	RIP: keyring_detect_cycle_iterator+0xe/0x1f
	...
	Call Trace:
	  search_nested_keyrings+0x76/0x2aa
	  __key_link_check_live_key+0x50/0x5f
	  key_link+0x4e/0x85
	  keyctl_keyring_link+0x60/0x81
	  SyS_keyctl+0x65/0xe4
	  tracesys+0xdd/0xe2

The fix is to make keyring_detect_cycle_iterator() check that the key it
has is the key it was actually looking for rather than calling BUG_ON().

A testcase has been included in the keyutils testsuite for this:
