Subject: [PATCH 4.1.y] KEYS: Fix crash when attempt to garbage collect an uninstantiated keyring
Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2015 17:46:40 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1449010000-1144-1-git-send-email-3chas3@gmail.com> (raw)
From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
Commit f05819df10d7b09f6d1eb6f8534a8f68e5a4fe61 upstream.
The following sequence of commands:
i=`keyctl add user a a @s`
keyctl request2 keyring foo bar @t
keyctl unlink $i @s
tries to invoke an upcall to instantiate a keyring if one doesn't already
exist by that name within the user's keyring set. However, if the upcall
fails, the code sets keyring->type_data.reject_error to -ENOKEY or some
other error code. When the key is garbage collected, the key destroy
function is called unconditionally and keyring_destroy() uses list_empty()
on keyring->type_data.link - which is in a union with reject_error.
Subsequently, the kernel tries to unlink the keyring from the keyring names
list - which oopses like this:

Note the value in RAX. This is a 32-bit representation of -ENOKEY.
The solution is to only call ->destroy() if the key was successfully
instantiated.
Fixes CVE-2015-7872.
