keys: Fix missing null pointer check in request_key_auth_describe()

2019-09-21T05:17:13+00:00

[ Upstream commit d41a3effbb53b1bcea41e328d16a4d046a508381 ] If a request_key authentication token key gets revoked, there's a window in which request_key_auth_describe() can see it with a NULL payload - but it makes no check for this and something like the following oops may occur: BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0x00000038 Faulting instruction address: 0xc0000000004ddf30 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] ...

keys: Fix dependency loop between construction record and auth key

2019-03-23T19:09:48+00:00

[ Upstream commit 822ad64d7e46a8e2c8b8a796738d7b657cbb146d ] In the request_key() upcall mechanism there's a dependency loop by which if a key type driver overrides the ->request_key hook and the userspace side manages to lose the authorisation key, the auth key and the internal construction record (struct key_construction) can keep each other pinned. Fix this by the following changes: (1) Killing off the construction record and using the auth key instead. (2) Including the operation name in the auth key payload and making the payload available outside of security/keys/. (3) The ->request_key hook is given the authkey instead of the cons record and operation name. Changes (2) and (3) allow the auth key to naturally be cleaned up if the keyring it is in is destroyed or cleared or the auth key is unlinked.

KEYS: always initialize keyring_index_key::desc_len

2019-02-27T09:09:00+00:00

commit ede0fa98a900e657d1fcd80b50920efc896c1a4c upstream. syzbot hit the 'BUG_ON(index_key->desc_len == 0);' in __key_link_begin() called from construct_alloc_key() during sys_request_key(), because the length of the key description was never calculated. The problem is that we rely on ->desc_len being initialized by search_process_keyrings(), specifically by search_nested_keyrings(). But, if the process isn't subscribed to any keyrings that never happens. Fix it by always initializing keyring_index_key::desc_len as soon as the description is set, like we already do in some places. The following program reproduces the BUG_ON() when it's run as root and no session keyring has been installed. If it doesn't work, try removing pam_keyinit.so from /etc/pam.d/login and rebooting. #include #include #include int main(void) { int id = add_key("keyring", "syz", NULL, 0, KEY_SPEC_USER_KEYRING); keyctl_setperm(id, KEY_OTH_WRITE); setreuid(5000, 5000); request_key("user", "desc", "", id); } Reported-by: syzbot+ec24e95ea483de0a24da@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Fixes: b2a4df200d57 ("KEYS: Expand the capacity of a keyring") Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: David Howells Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: James Morris Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

KEYS: Fix race between updating and finding a negative key

2017-10-18T08:12:40+00:00

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: don't revoke uninstantiated key in request_key_auth_new()

2017-09-25T14:19:56+00:00

If key_instantiate_and_link() were to fail (which fortunately isn't possible currently), the call to key_revoke(authkey) would crash with a NULL pointer dereference in request_key_auth_revoke() because the key has not yet been instantiated. Fix this by removing the call to key_revoke(). key_put() is sufficient, as it's not possible for an uninstantiated authkey to have been used for anything yet.

KEYS: fix cred refcount leak in request_key_auth_new()

2017-09-25T14:03:55+00:00

In request_key_auth_new(), if key_alloc() or key_instantiate_and_link() were to fail, we would leak a reference to the 'struct cred'. Currently this can only happen if key_alloc() fails to allocate memory. But it still should be fixed, as it is a more severe bug waiting to happen. Fix it by cleaning things up to use a helper function which frees a 'struct request_key_auth' correctly.

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.
