Subject: [PATCH 7.3 24/38] KEYS: Fix key_reject_and_link() race with keyring restriction
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 18:00:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028165941.020379730@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028165940.394092994@linuxfoundation.org>

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

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

From: Adrian Martinez <adrimg3196@gmail.com>

commit 0b157166e612b70f98a332b6c7be7eac6f8e9593 upstream.

The restrict_link check in key_reject_and_link() is done before taking
the keyring semaphore, racing with a concurrent keyring_restrict()
that installs the restriction while holding the semaphore in write
mode.

Move the check to after __key_link_lock(), so it is done under the
semaphore, matching the pattern used in __key_create_or_update().

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Fixes: 5ac7eace2d00 ("KEYS: Add a facility to restrict new links into a keyring")
