Subject: [PATCH 5.15 59/95] keys: Pin request_key_auth payload in instantiate paths
Date: Thu,  2 Jul 2026 18:20:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702155110.451512449@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702155109.196223802@linuxfoundation.org>

5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Shaomin Chen <eeesssooo020@gmail.com>

commit fd15b457a86939c38aa12116adabd8ff686c5e51 upstream.

A: request_key()       B: KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE_IOV
================       =========================

create auth key
store rka in auth key
wait for helper
                       get auth key
                       load rka from auth key
                       copy user payload
                       sleep on #PF

helper completed
detach and free rka
destroy auth key
                       wake up
                       use rka->target_key
                       **USE-AFTER-FREE**

Give request_key_auth payloads a refcount.  Take a payload reference while
authkey->sem stabilizes the payload and revocation state.  Hold that
reference across the instantiate and reject paths.  Drop the auth key
owning reference from revoke and destroy.

[jarkko: Replaced the first two paragraphs of text with an actual
 concurrency scenario.]
