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

2017-11-08T09:08:31+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

2017-10-27T08:38:11+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

2017-10-05T07:44:00+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()

2017-10-05T07:44:00+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.

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: Add a facility to restrict new links into a keyring

2016-04-11T21:37:37+00:00

Add a facility whereby proposed new links to be added to a keyring can be vetted, permitting them to be rejected if necessary. This can be used to block public keys from which the signature cannot be verified or for which the signature verification fails. It could also be used to provide blacklisting. This affects operations like add_key(), KEYCTL_LINK and KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE. To this end: (1) A function pointer is added to the key struct that, if set, points to the vetting function. This is called as: int (*restrict_link)(struct key *keyring, const struct key_type *key_type, unsigned long key_flags, const union key_payload *key_payload), where 'keyring' will be the keyring being added to, key_type and key_payload will describe the key being added and key_flags[*] can be AND'ed with KEY_FLAG_TRUSTED. [*] This parameter will be removed in a later patch when KEY_FLAG_TRUSTED is removed. The function should return 0 to allow the link to take place or an error (typically -ENOKEY, -ENOPKG or -EKEYREJECTED) to reject the link. The pointer should not be set directly, but rather should be set through keyring_alloc(). Note that if called during add_key(), preparse is called before this method, but a key isn't actually allocated until after this function is called. (2) KEY_ALLOC_BYPASS_RESTRICTION is added. This can be passed to key_create_or_update() or key_instantiate_and_link() to bypass the restriction check. (3) KEY_FLAG_TRUSTED_ONLY is removed. The entire contents of a keyring with this restriction emplaced can be considered 'trustworthy' by virtue of being in the keyring when that keyring is consulted. (4) key_alloc() and keyring_alloc() take an extra argument that will be used to set restrict_link in the new key. This ensures that the pointer is set before the key is published, thus preventing a window of unrestrictedness. Normally this argument will be NULL. (5) As a temporary affair, keyring_restrict_trusted_only() is added. It should be passed to keyring_alloc() as the extra argument instead of setting KEY_FLAG_TRUSTED_ONLY on a keyring. This will be replaced in a later patch with functions that look in the appropriate places for authoritative keys. Signed-off-by: David Howells Reviewed-by: Mimi Zohar

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: ensure we free the assoc array edit if edit is valid

2015-07-28T03:08:23+00:00

__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.

KEYS: request_key() should reget expired keys rather than give EKEYEXPIRED

2014-12-01T22:52:53+00:00

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.

KEYS: Simplify KEYRING_SEARCH_{NO,DO}_STATE_CHECK flags

2014-12-01T22:52:50+00:00

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.
