[PATCH net v5 05/10] rxrpc: Expand abort trace enum

[PATCH net v5 05/10] rxrpc: Expand abort trace enum

[David Howells]

The rxrpc_abort_reason enum is marked __mode(byte), but there are currently
exactly 128 in the enum (0-127), but this is about to be increased and the
enum is represented by a signed byte and an increase causes compilation
errors.

Remove the mode marking to return it to a 32-bit int.

[PATCH net v5 06/10] keys: Add refcounting to user-defined key type payload

[David Howells]

Add refcounting to user-defined key type payload so that a kernel service
wanting to use such a key can hold onto the payload without the RCU read
lock held in order that it can do an allocation without having to be
concerned with the key getting updated.

This is the first part of the fix for the AF_RXRPC challenge response
generation code.

[PATCH net v5 07/10] afs: Create a server appdata key

[David Howells]

Currently, when a CHALLENGE packet comes in, it's queued in an OOB queue on
the AF_RXRPC socket that generated one of the calls on that connection for
the application (which might be in userspace) to service.  The application
then picks up the CHALLENGE and requests a RESPONSE packet be generated,
allowing the app to include app-specific data in it if appropriate.  There
is, however, no actual limit on the capacity of the CHALLENGE queue, and
this could be abused remotely - and also getting the OOB mechanism right
has proven tricky.

Further, by analogy with other AFS codebases, it's not actually necessary
to generate the application data in response to the CHALLENGE.  The reason
I did this was to set the encryption on the app-data to be the same as that
specified in the CHALLENGE as the server must be able to handle that.
However, it's sufficient to use the encoding type set in the token that is
going to be sent to the server; presumably the kerberos server knows that
the fileserver can handle that type - otherwise why tell the client to use
it?

This is a part of the fix.  With this, the AFS filesystem creates an
appdata key for each fileserver it talks to with RxGK and attaches it to
the afs_server record.

Fixes: 5800b1cf3fd8 ("rxrpc: Allow CHALLENGEs to the passed to the app for a RESPONSE")

commit 46d1f7800458c15b841827dd597a26f2786367f4
Author: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
Subject: afs: Create a server appdata key

This patch introduces an appdata key for each AFS fileserver the client
communicates with using RxGK. It shifts the responsibility of generating
application data from responding to challenges in the OOB queue to creating
it when setting up the server record.

Simon says:

Hi David,

I'm wondering if you could take a look into the issue flagged below.

[Severity: Medium]
Could this leave the plaintext cryptographic callback key (K0) in the slab
cache?

When creating an RxGK appdata key, afs_create_yfs_rxgk_cm_appdata()
allocates a temporary appdata buffer, generates a random cryptographic key
into it, encrypts it, and then frees the temporary buffer using kfree().

Can an unprivileged process or remote attacker who exploits an information leak
recover the plaintext key from the heap and forge RxGK callback connections?
Would kfree_sensitive() be more appropriate here to ensure the buffer is
securely zeroed?

> +#endif /* CONFIG_RXGK */
[ ... ]

Simon says: But I don't think we need to consider the pre-existing
            issues flagged below in the context of this patch-set.

I noticed a couple of pre-existing issues while reviewing this code:

> fs/afs/cm_security.c:afs_respond_to_challenge()
>
> 			server = (struct afs_server *)peer_data;
> 			if (!server->cm_rxgk_appdata.data) {

[Severity: Critical]
This is a pre-existing issue, but is it safe to cast and dereference peer_data
here?

When a network CHALLENGE packet arrives and is processed in the OOB queue in
afs_respond_to_challenge(), it reads peer_data and casts it to an afs_server
pointer.

Since the code dereferences this pointer without holding rcu_read_lock() or
taking a reference on the server object, what happens if the server is
concurrently destroyed or updated?

If peer_data is set to 0, this causes a direct NULL dereference. If the
server memory is freed, could this result in a use-after-free triggered by a
remote attacker?

> 		kfree(rcu_access_pointer(server->endpoint_state));
> 		kfree(candidate);
> 		afs_dec_servers_outstanding(cell->net);
> 	}

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but could this cleanup path free
the active server's endpoint state?

When two threads concurrently execute afs_lookup_server() for a new server,
one thread installs its candidate and the other receives the installed server.
On the exit path (out:), if candidate is non-null, the second thread
erroneously calls kfree(rcu_access_pointer(server->endpoint_state)) instead
of freeing the candidate's state.

Also, if the first thread fails server creation, it sets server = NULL.
Would accessing server->endpoint_state here then trigger a direct NULL
pointer dereference?

Note that the OOB code is removed by these patches.

The other two issues here need addressing, though for one of them, the fix
will need to go via the vfs tree.

[PATCH net v5 08/10] rxrpc: Pass appdata key to rxrpc_call and thence to rxrpc_bundle

[David Howells]

Currently, when a CHALLENGE packet comes in, it's queued in an OOB queue on
the AF_RXRPC socket that generated one of the calls on that connection for
the application (which might be in userspace) to service.  The application
then picks up the CHALLENGE and requests a RESPONSE packet be generated,
allowing the app to include app-specific data in it if appropriate.  There
is, however, no actual limit on the capacity of the CHALLENGE queue, and
this could be abused remotely - and also getting the OOB mechanism right
has proven tricky.

Further, by analogy with other AFS codebases, it's not actually necessary
to generate the application data in response to the CHALLENGE.  The reason
I did this was to set the encryption on the app-data to be the same as that
specified in the CHALLENGE as the server must be able to handle that.
However, it's sufficient to use the encoding type set in the token that is
going to be sent to the server; presumably the kerberos server knows that
the fileserver can handle that type - otherwise why tell the client to use
it?

This is a part of the fix.  With this, the appdata key created by the AFS
filesystem or passed in via sendmsg CMSG to a user AF_RXRPC socket is added
to an rxrpc_call struct and will then be added to an rxrpc_bundle struct.

Note that afs_make_op_call() has to be moved so that it can call
afs_use_server().  afs_operation-based calls did not heretofore 'use' the
server and server will be 'un-used' by afs_free_call().

Fixes: 5800b1cf3fd8 ("rxrpc: Allow CHALLENGEs to the passed to the app for a RESPONSE")

[PATCH net v5 09/10] rxrpc: Fix CHALLENGE packet overqueuing and simplify RESPONSE generation

[David Howells]

Currently, when a CHALLENGE packet comes in, it's queued in an OOB queue on
the AF_RXRPC socket that generated one of the calls on that connection for
the application (which might be in userspace) to service.  The application
then picks up the CHALLENGE and requests a RESPONSE packet be generated,
allowing the app to include app-specific data in it if appropriate.  There
is, however, no actual limit on the capacity of the CHALLENGE queue, and
this could be abused remotely - and also getting the OOB mechanism right
has proven tricky.

Further, by analogy with other AFS codebases, it's not actually necessary
to generate the application data in response to the CHALLENGE.  The reason
I did this was to set the encryption on the app-data to be the same as that
specified in the CHALLENGE as the server must be able to handle that.
However, it's sufficient to use the encoding type set in the token that is
going to be sent to the server; presumably the kerberos server knows that
the fileserver can handle that type - otherwise why tell the client to use
it?

This is the main part of the fix.  It switches the code over from using the
OOB communication mechanism to get the appdata on the fly from the
application (either the AFS filesystem or userspace) to using the appdata
key preemptively provided by the application.

The following changes are made:

 (1) Revert to making the connection event processor work item parse the
     CHALLENGE and generate the RESPONSE directly.

 (2) Add another (optional) parameter that is passed in when an rxrpc
     client call is created and ends up attached to the connection bundle
     and is a user-type or logon-type key containing the application data.

 (3) RESPONSE generation looks at the bundle and if the app-data is there,
     it will include it (if the security class is YFS-RxGK; RxKAD ignores
     it).

The AFS filesystem driver creates an app-data key when it probes a
fileserver and attaches it to the afs_server struct.  This is picked up
when a call is made to that server and thence passed to rxrpc.

Direct userspace users of AF_RXRPC can partake by creating a user-type or
logon-type key containing the app-data they want to use and passing its
serial ID in a CMSG of type RXRPC_RESPONSE_APPDATA in the initial sendmsg()
of a call.

Fixes: 5800b1cf3fd8 ("rxrpc: Allow CHALLENGEs to the passed to the app for a RESPONSE")
