KEYS: Make request_key() and co. return an error for a negative key

2011-03-17T00:59:49Z

Make request_key() and co. return an error for a negative or rejected key. If the key was simply negated, then return ENOKEY, otherwise return the error with which it was rejected. Without this patch, the following command returns a key number (with the latest keyutils): [root@andromeda ~]# keyctl request2 user debug:foo rejected @s 586569904 Trying to print the key merely gets you a permission denied error: [root@andromeda ~]# keyctl print 586569904 keyctl_read_alloc: Permission denied Doing another request_key() call does get you the error, as long as it hasn't expired yet: [root@andromeda ~]# keyctl request user debug:foo request_key: Key was rejected by service Signed-off-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: James Morris

KEYS: Add an iovec version of KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE

2011-03-08T00:17:22Z

Add a keyctl op (KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE_IOV) that is like KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE, but takes an iovec array and concatenates the data in-kernel into one buffer. Since the KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE copies the data anyway, this isn't too much of a problem. Signed-off-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: James Morris

KEYS: Add a new keyctl op to reject a key with a specified error code

2011-03-08T00:17:18Z

Add a new keyctl op to reject a key with a specified error code. This works much the same as negating a key, and so keyctl_negate_key() is made a special case of keyctl_reject_key(). The difference is that keyctl_negate_key() selects ENOKEY as the error to be reported. Typically the key would be rejected with EKEYEXPIRED, EKEYREVOKED or EKEYREJECTED, but this is not mandatory.

KEYS: Do some style cleanup in the key management code.

2011-01-21T22:59:29Z

Do a bit of a style clean up in the key management code. No functional changes. Done using: perl -p -i -e 's!^/[*]*/\n!!' security/keys/*.c perl -p -i -e 's!} /[*] end [a-z0-9_]*[(][)] [*]/\n!}\n!' security/keys/*.c sed -i -s -e ": next" -e N -e 's/^\n[}]$/}/' -e t -e P -e 's/^.*\n//' -e "b next" security/keys/*.c To remove /*****/ lines, remove comments on the closing brace of a function to name the function and remove blank lines before the closing brace of a function.

KEYS: Fix bug in keyctl_session_to_parent() if parent has no session keyring

2010-09-10T14:30:00Z

Fix a bug in keyctl_session_to_parent() whereby it tries to check the ownership of the parent process's session keyring whether or not the parent has a session keyring [CVE-2010-2960]. This results in the following oops: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000a0 IP: [] keyctl_session_to_parent+0x251/0x443 ... Call Trace: [] ? keyctl_session_to_parent+0x67/0x443 [] ? __do_fault+0x24b/0x3d0 [] sys_keyctl+0xb4/0xb8 [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b if the parent process has no session keyring. If the system is using pam_keyinit then it mostly protected against this as all processes derived from a login will have inherited the session keyring created by pam_keyinit during the log in procedure. To test this, pam_keyinit calls need to be commented out in /etc/pam.d/. Reported-by: Tavis Ormandy Signed-off-by: David Howells Acked-by: Tavis Ormandy Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

KEYS: Fix RCU no-lock warning in keyctl_session_to_parent()

2010-09-10T14:30:00Z

There's an protected access to the parent process's credentials in the middle of keyctl_session_to_parent(). This results in the following RCU warning: =================================================== [ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ] --------------------------------------------------- security/keys/keyctl.c:1291 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0 1 lock held by keyctl-session-/2137: #0: (tasklist_lock){.+.+..}, at: [] keyctl_session_to_parent+0x60/0x236 stack backtrace: Pid: 2137, comm: keyctl-session- Not tainted 2.6.36-rc2-cachefs+ #1 Call Trace: [] lockdep_rcu_dereference+0xaa/0xb3 [] keyctl_session_to_parent+0xed/0x236 [] sys_keyctl+0xb4/0xb6 [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b The code should take the RCU read lock to make sure the parents credentials don't go away, even though it's holding a spinlock and has IRQ disabled.

KEYS: Use the variable 'key' in keyctl_describe_key()

2010-08-02T05:34:56Z

keyctl_describe_key() turns the key reference it gets into a usable key pointer and assigns that to a variable called 'key', which it then ignores in favour of recomputing the key pointer each time it needs it. Make it use the precomputed pointer instead. Without this patch, gcc 4.6 reports that the variable key is set but not used: building with gcc 4.6 I'm getting a warning message: CC security/keys/keyctl.o security/keys/keyctl.c: In function 'keyctl_describe_key': security/keys/keyctl.c:472:14: warning: variable 'key' set but not used Reported-by: Justin P.

KEYS: Authorise keyctl_set_timeout() on a key if we have its authorisation key

2010-08-02T05:34:27Z

Authorise a process to perform keyctl_set_timeout() on an uninstantiated key if that process has the authorisation key for it. This allows the instantiator to set the timeout on a key it is instantiating - provided it does it before instantiating the key. For instance, the test upcall script provided with the keyutils package could be modified to set the expiry to an hour hence before instantiating the key: [/usr/share/keyutils/request-key-debug.sh] if [ "$3" != "neg" ] then + keyctl timeout $1 3600 keyctl instantiate $1 "Debug $3" $4 || exit 1 else Signed-off-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: James Morris
