KEYS: fix keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring() to not leak thread keyrings

2017-04-18T14:31:49Z

This fixes CVE-2017-7472. Running the following program as an unprivileged user exhausts kernel memory by leaking thread keyrings: #include int main() { for (;;) keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring(KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_THREAD_KEYRING); } Fix it by only creating a new thread keyring if there wasn't one before. To make things more consistent, make install_thread_keyring_to_cred() and install_process_keyring_to_cred() both return 0 if the corresponding keyring is already present.

KEYS: Change the name of the dead type to ".dead" to prevent user access

2017-04-18T14:31:39Z

This fixes CVE-2017-6951. Userspace should not be able to do things with the "dead" key type as it doesn't have some of the helper functions set upon it that the kernel needs. Attempting to use it may cause the kernel to crash. Fix this by changing the name of the type to ".dead" so that it's rejected up front on userspace syscalls by key_get_type_from_user(). Though this doesn't seem to affect recent kernels, it does affect older ones, certainly those prior to: commit c06cfb08b88dfbe13be44a69ae2fdc3a7c902d81 Author: David Howells Date: Tue Sep 16 17:36:06 2014 +0100 KEYS: Remove key_type::match in favour of overriding default by match_preparse which went in before 3.18-rc1.

KEYS: Disallow keyrings beginning with '.' to be joined as session keyrings

2017-04-18T14:31:35Z

This fixes CVE-2016-9604. Keyrings whose name begin with a '.' are special internal keyrings and so userspace isn't allowed to create keyrings by this name to prevent shadowing. However, the patch that added the guard didn't fix KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING. Not only can that create dot-named keyrings, it can also subscribe to them as a session keyring if they grant SEARCH permission to the user. This, for example, allows a root process to set .builtin_trusted_keys as its session keyring, at which point it has full access because now the possessor permissions are added. This permits root to add extra public keys, thereby bypassing module verification. This also affects kexec and IMA. This can be tested by (as root): keyctl session .builtin_trusted_keys keyctl add user a a @s keyctl list @s which on my test box gives me: 2 keys in keyring: 180010936: ---lswrv 0 0 asymmetric: Build time autogenerated kernel key: ae3d4a31b82daa8e1a75b49dc2bba949fd992a05 801382539: --alswrv 0 0 user: a Fix this by rejecting names beginning with a '.' in the keyctl.

Pull sched.h split-up from Ingo Molnar: "The point of these changes is to significantly reduce the header footprint, to speed up the kernel build and to have a cleaner header structure. After these changes the new 's typical preprocessed size goes down from a previous ~0.68 MB (~22K lines) to ~0.45 MB (~15K lines), which is around 40% faster to build on typical configs. Not much changed from the last version (-v2) posted three weeks ago: I eliminated quirks, backmerged fixes plus I rebased it to an upstream SHA1 from yesterday that includes most changes queued up in -next plus all sched.h changes that were pending from Andrew. I've re-tested the series both on x86 and on cross-arch defconfigs, and did a bisectability test at a number of random points. I tried to test as many build configurations as possible, but some build breakage is probably still left - but it should be mostly limited to architectures that have no cross-compiler binaries available on kernel.org, and non-default configurations" * 'WIP.sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (146 commits) sched/headers: Clean up sched/headers: Remove #ifdefs from sched/headers: Remove the include from sched/headers, hrtimer: Remove the include from sched/headers, x86/apic: Remove the header inclusion from sched/headers, timers: Remove the include from sched/headers: Remove from sched/headers: Remove from sched/core: Remove unused prefetch_stack() sched/headers: Remove from sched/headers: Remove the 'init_pid_ns' prototype from sched/headers: Remove from sched/headers: Remove from sched/headers: Remove the runqueue_is_locked() prototype sched/headers: Remove from sched/headers: Remove from sched/headers: Remove from sched/headers: Remove from sched/headers: Remove the include from sched/headers: Remove from ...

We don't actually need the full rculist.h header in sched.h anymore, we will be able to include the smaller rcupdate.h header instead. But first update code that relied on the implicit header inclusion.

We are going to split out of , which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder file that just maps to to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.
