KEYS: request_key() should reget expired keys rather than give EKEYEXPIRED

2014-12-01T22:52:53Z

Since the keyring facility can be viewed as a cache (at least in some applications), the local expiration time on the key should probably be viewed as a 'needs updating after this time' property rather than an absolute 'anyone now wanting to use this object is out of luck' property. Since request_key() is the main interface for the usage of keys, this should update or replace an expired key rather than issuing EKEYEXPIRED if the local expiration has been reached (ie. it should refresh the cache). For absolute conditions where refreshing the cache probably doesn't help, the key can be negatively instantiated using KEYCTL_REJECT_KEY with EKEYEXPIRED given as the error to issue. This will still cause request_key() to return EKEYEXPIRED as that was explicitly set. In the future, if the key type has an update op available, we might want to upcall with the expired key and allow the upcall to update it. We would pass a different operation name (the first column in /etc/request-key.conf) to the request-key program. request_key() returning EKEYEXPIRED is causing an NFS problem which Chuck Lever describes thusly: After about 10 minutes, my NFSv4 functional tests fail because the ownership of the test files goes to "-2". Looking at /proc/keys shows that the id_resolv keys that map to my test user ID have expired. The ownership problem persists until the expired keys are purged from the keyring, and fresh keys are obtained. I bisected the problem to 3.13 commit b2a4df200d57 ("KEYS: Expand the capacity of a keyring"). This commit inadvertantly changes the API contract of the internal function keyring_search_aux(). The root cause appears to be that b2a4df200d57 made "no state check" the default behavior. "No state check" means the keyring search iterator function skips checking the key's expiry timeout, and returns expired keys. request_key_and_link() depends on getting an -EAGAIN result code to know when to perform an upcall to refresh an expired key. This patch can be tested directly by: keyctl request2 user debug:fred a @s keyctl timeout %user:debug:fred 3 sleep 4 keyctl request2 user debug:fred a @s Without the patch, the last command gives error EKEYEXPIRED, but with the command it gives a new key.

KEYS: Simplify KEYRING_SEARCH_{NO,DO}_STATE_CHECK flags

2014-12-01T22:52:50Z

Simplify KEYRING_SEARCH_{NO,DO}_STATE_CHECK flags to be two variations of the same flag. They are effectively mutually exclusive and one or the other should be provided, but not both. Keyring cycle detection and key possession determination are the only things that set NO_STATE_CHECK, except that neither flag really does anything there because neither purpose makes use of the keyring_search_iterator() function, but rather provides their own. For cycle detection we definitely want to check inside of expired keyrings, just so that we don't create a cycle we can't get rid of. Revoked keyrings are cleared at revocation time and can't then be reused, so shouldn't be a problem either way. For possession determination, we *might* want to validate each keyring before searching it: do you possess a key that's hidden behind an expired or just plain inaccessible keyring? Currently, the answer is yes. Note that you cannot, however, possess a key behind a revoked keyring because they are cleared on revocation. keyring_search() sets DO_STATE_CHECK, which is correct. request_key_and_link() currently doesn't specify whether to check the key state or not - but it should set DO_STATE_CHECK. key_get_instantiation_authkey() also currently doesn't specify whether to check the key state or not - but it probably should also set DO_STATE_CHECK.

KEYS: Fix the size of the key description passed to/from userspace

2014-12-01T22:52:45Z

When a key description argument is imported into the kernel from userspace, as happens in add_key(), request_key(), KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING, KEYCTL_SEARCH, the description is copied into a buffer up to PAGE_SIZE in size. PAGE_SIZE, however, is a variable quantity, depending on the arch. Fix this at 4096 instead (ie. 4095 plus a NUL termination) and define a constant (KEY_MAX_DESC_SIZE) to this end. When reading the description back with KEYCTL_DESCRIBE, a PAGE_SIZE internal buffer is allocated into which the information and description will be rendered. This means that the description will get truncated if an extremely long description it has to be crammed into the buffer with the stringified information. There is no particular need to copy the description into the buffer, so just copy it directly to userspace in a separate operation.

selinux: convert WARN_ONCE() to printk() in selinux_nlmsg_perm()

selinux: fix inode security list corruption

2014-10-15T14:37:02Z

sb_finish_set_opts() can race with inode_free_security() when initializing inode security structures for inodes created prior to initial policy load or by the filesystem during ->mount(). This appears to have always been a possible race, but commit 3dc91d4 ("SELinux: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in selinux_inode_permission()") made it more evident by immediately reusing the unioned list/rcu element of the inode security structure for call_rcu() upon an inode_free_security(). But the underlying issue was already present before that commit as a possible use-after-free of isec. Shivnandan Kumar reported the list corruption and proposed a patch to split the list and rcu elements out of the union as separate fields of the inode_security_struct so that setting the rcu element would not affect the list element. However, this would merely hide the issue and not truly fix the code. This patch instead moves up the deletion of the list entry prior to dropping the sbsec->isec_lock initially. Then, if the inode is dropped subsequently, there will be no further references to the isec.
