Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y] X.509: Fix validation of ASN.1 certificate header
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 15:49:38 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716194938.1111666-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026071443-crouton-afterlife-63a4@gregkh>

From: Lukas Wunner <lukas@wunner.de>

[ Upstream commit 3b626ba431c4501512ad07549310685e07fe4706 ]

x509_load_certificate_list() seeks to enforce that a certificate starts
with 0x30 0x82 (ASN.1 SEQUENCE tag followed by a length of more than 256
and less than 65535 bytes).

But it only enforces that *either* of those two byte values are present,
instead of checking for the *conjunction* of the two values.  Fix it.

Fixes: 631cc66eb9ea ("MODSIGN: Provide module signing public keys to the kernel")

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260508033917.B5873C2BCB0@smtp.kernel.org/
