2015-10-15KEYS: Fix crash when attempt to garbage collect an uninstantiated keyringDavid Howells1-2/+4
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: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00000000ffffff8a IP: [<ffffffff8126e051>] keyring_destroy+0x3d/0x88 ...

2015-09-25KEYS: Fix race between key destruction and finding a keyring by nameDavid Howells1-4/+4
There appears to be a race between: (1) key_gc_unused_keys() which frees key->security and then calls keyring_destroy() to unlink the name from the name list (2) find_keyring_by_name() which calls key_permission(), thus accessing key->security, on a key before checking to see whether the key usage is 0 (ie. the key is dead and might be cleaned up). Fix this by calling ->destroy() before cleaning up the core key data - including key->security. Reported-by: Petr Matousek <pmatouse@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2015-01-05KEYS: close race between key lookup and freeingSasha Levin1-2/+2
When a key is being garbage collected, it's key->user would get put before the ->destroy() callback is called, where the key is removed from it's respective tracking structures. This leaves a key hanging in a semi-invalid state which leaves a window open for a different task to try an access key->user. An example is find_keyring_by_name() which would dereference key->user for a key that is in the process of being garbage collected (where key->user was freed but ->destroy() wasn't called yet - so it's still present in the linked list). This would cause either a panic, or corrupt memory. Fixes CVE-2014-9529. Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2014-07-16sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functionsNeilBrown1-10/+1
The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action' function to be provided which does the actual waiting. There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical. Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule(). So: Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action to make it explicit that they need an action function. Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use a standard one. The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action function. All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their action functions have been discarded. wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and interpolate their own error code as appropriate. The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function. David Howells confirms this should be uniformly "uninterruptible" The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call. A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action' functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan' field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan). As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So the distinction will still be visible, only with different function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the gfs2/glock.c case). Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware schedule call as NFS.

2013-11-14KEYS: Fix keyring content gc scannerDavid Howells1-41/+1
Key pointers stored in the keyring are marked in bit 1 to indicate if they point to a keyring. We need to strip off this bit before using the pointer when iterating over the keyring for the purpose of looking for links to garbage collect. This means that expirable keyrings aren't correctly expiring because the checker is seeing their key pointer with 2 added to it. Since the fix for this involves knowing about the internals of the keyring, key_gc_keyring() is moved to keyring.c and merged into keyring_gc(). This can be tested by: echo 2 >/proc/sys/kernel/keys/gc_delay keyctl timeout `keyctl add keyring qwerty "" @s` 2 cat /proc/keys sleep 5; cat /proc/keys which should see a keyring called "qwerty" appear in the session keyring and then disappear after it expires, and: echo 2 >/proc/sys/kernel/keys/gc_delay a=`keyctl get_persistent @s` b=`keyctl add keyring 0 "" $a` keyctl add user a a $b keyctl timeout $b 2 cat /proc/keys sleep 5; cat /proc/keys which should see a keyring called "0" with a key called "a" in it appear in the user's persistent keyring (which will be attached to the session keyring) and then both the "0" keyring and the "a" key should disappear when the "0" keyring expires.

2013-09-24KEYS: Expand the capacity of a keyringDavid Howells1-19/+14
Expand the capacity of a keyring to be able to hold a lot more keys by using the previously added associative array implementation. Currently the maximum capacity is: (PAGE_SIZE - sizeof(header)) / sizeof(struct key *) which, on a 64-bit system, is a little more 500. However, since this is being used for the NFS uid mapper, we need more than that. The new implementation gives us effectively unlimited capacity. With some alterations, the keyutils testsuite runs successfully to completion after this patch is applied. The alterations are because (a) keyrings that are simply added to no longer appear ordered and (b) some of the errors have changed a bit. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

2012-05-11KEYS: Add invalidation supportDavid Howells1-7/+14
Add support for invalidating a key - which renders it immediately invisible to further searches and causes the garbage collector to immediately wake up, remove it from keyrings and then destroy it when it's no longer referenced. It's better not to do this with keyctl_revoke() as that marks the key to start returning -EKEYREVOKED to searches when what is actually desired is to have the key refetched. To invalidate a key the caller must be granted SEARCH permission by the key. This may be too strict. It may be better to also permit invalidation if the caller has any of READ, WRITE or SETATTR permission. The primary use for this is to evict keys that are cached in special keyrings, such as the DNS resolver or an ID mapper. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2012-05-11KEYS: Permit in-place link replacement in keyring listDavid Howells1-1/+1
Make use of the previous patch that makes the garbage collector perform RCU synchronisation before destroying defunct keys. Key pointers can now be replaced in-place without creating a new keyring payload and replacing the whole thing as the discarded keys will not be destroyed until all currently held RCU read locks are released. If the keyring payload space needs to be expanded or contracted, then a replacement will still need allocating, and the original will still have to be freed by RCU.

2012-05-11KEYS: Perform RCU synchronisation on keys prior to key destructionDavid Howells1-29/+44
Make the keys garbage collector invoke synchronize_rcu() prior to destroying keys with a zero usage count. This means that a key can be examined under the RCU read lock in the safe knowledge that it won't get deallocated until after the lock is released - even if its usage count becomes zero whilst we're looking at it. This is useful in keyring search vs key link. Consider a keyring containing a link to a key. That link can be replaced in-place in the keyring without requiring an RCU copy-and-replace on the keyring contents without breaking a search underway on that keyring when the displaced key is released, provided the key is actually destroyed only after the RCU read lock held by the search algorithm is released. This permits __key_link() to replace a key without having to reallocate the key payload. A key gets replaced if a new key being linked into a keyring has the same type and description.

2012-01-18KEYS: Add missing smp_rmb() primitives to the keyring search codeDavid Howells1-1/+3
Add missing smp_rmb() primitives to the keyring search code. When keyring payloads are appended to without replacement (thus using up spare slots in the key pointer array), an smp_wmb() is issued between the pointer assignment and the increment of the key count (nkeys). There should be corresponding read barriers between the read of nkeys and dereferences of keys[n] when n is dependent on the value of nkeys.

2011-08-23KEYS: Correctly destroy key payloads when their keytype is removedDavid Howells1-160/+251
unregister_key_type() has code to mark a key as dead and make it unavailable in one loop and then destroy all those unavailable key payloads in the next loop. However, the loop to mark keys dead renders the key undetectable to the second loop by changing the key type pointer also. Fix this by the following means: (1) The key code has two garbage collectors: one deletes unreferenced keys and the other alters keyrings to delete links to old dead, revoked and expired keys. They can end up holding each other up as both want to scan the key serial tree under spinlock. Combine these into a single routine. (2) Move the dead key marking, dead link removal and dead key removal into the garbage collector as a three phase process running over the three cycles of the normal garbage collection procedure. This is tracked by the KEY_GC_REAPING_DEAD_1, _2 and _3 state flags. unregister_key_type() then just unlinks the key type from the list, wakes up the garbage collector and waits for the third phase to complete. (3) Downgrade the key types sem in unregister_key_type() once it has deleted the key type from the list so that it doesn't block the keyctl() syscall. (4) Dead keys that cannot be simply removed in the third phase have their payloads destroyed with the key's semaphore write-locked to prevent interference by the keyctl() syscall. There should be no in-kernel users of dead keys of that type by the point of unregistration, though keyctl() may be holding a reference. (5) Only perform timer recalculation in the GC if the timer actually expired. If it didn't, we'll get another cycle when it goes off - and if the key that actually triggered it has been removed, it's not a problem. (6) Only garbage collect link if the timer expired or if we're doing dead key clean up phase 2. (7) As only key_garbage_collector() is permitted to use rb_erase() on the key serial tree, it doesn't need to revalidate its cursor after dropping the spinlock as the node the cursor points to must still exist in the tree. (8) Drop the spinlock in the GC if there is contention on it or if we need to reschedule. After dealing with that, get the spinlock again and resume scanning. This has been tested in the following ways: (1) Run the keyutils testsuite against it. (2) Using the AF_RXRPC and RxKAD modules to test keytype removal: Load the rxrpc_s key type: # insmod /tmp/af-rxrpc.ko # insmod /tmp/rxkad.ko Create a key (http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/rxrpc/listen.c): # /tmp/listen & [1] 8173 Find the key: # grep rxrpc_s /proc/keys 091086e1 I--Q-- 1 perm 39390000 0 0 rxrpc_s 52:2 Link it to a session keyring, preferably one with a higher serial number: # keyctl link 0x20e36251 @s Kill the process (the key should remain as it's linked to another place): # fg /tmp/listen ^C Remove the key type: rmmod rxkad rmmod af-rxrpc This can be made a more effective test by altering the following part of the patch: if (unlikely(gc_state & KEY_GC_REAPING_DEAD_2)) { /* Make sure everyone revalidates their keys if we marked a * bunch as being dead and make sure all keyring ex-payloads * are destroyed. */ kdebug("dead sync"); synchronize_rcu(); To call synchronize_rcu() in GC phase 1 instead. That causes that the keyring's old payload content to hang around longer until it's RCU destroyed - which usually happens after GC phase 3 is complete. This allows the destroy_dead_key branch to be tested.

2010-05-05KEYS: Fix RCU handling in key_gc_keyring()David Howells1-3/+6
key_gc_keyring() needs to either hold the RCU read lock or hold the keyring semaphore if it's going to scan the keyring's list. Given that it only needs to read the key list, and it's doing so under a spinlock, the RCU read lock is the thing to use. Furthermore, the RCU check added in e7b0a61b7929632d36cf052d9e2820ef0a9c1bfe is incorrect as holding the spinlock on key_serial_lock is not grounds for assuming a keyring's pointer list can be read safely.

However, it currently only does this if the key it is considering hasn't yet expired. If the key being considering has expired, but hasn't yet reached the collection time then it is ignored, and won't be collected until some other key provokes a round of collection.

2009-09-15KEYS: Fix garbage collectorDavid Howells1-27/+51
Fix a number of problems with the new key garbage collector: (1) A rogue semicolon in keyring_gc() was causing the initial count of dead keys to be miscalculated. (2) A missing return in keyring_gc() meant that under certain circumstances, the keyring semaphore would be unlocked twice. (3) The key serial tree iterator (key_garbage_collector()) part of the garbage collector has been modified to: (a) Complete each scan of the keyrings before setting the new timer. (b) Only set the new timer for keys that have yet to expire. This means that the new timer is now calculated correctly, and the gc doesn't get into a loop continually scanning for keys that have expired, and preventing other things from happening, like RCU cleaning up the old keyring contents. (c) Perform an extra scan if any keys were garbage collected in this one as a key might become garbage during a scan, and (b) could mean we don't set the timer again. (4) Made key_schedule_gc() take the time at which to do a collection run, rather than the time at which the key expires. This means the collection of dead keys (key type unregistered) can happen immediately. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
2009-09-02KEYS: Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring on its parent [try #6]David Howells1-0/+1
Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent. This replaces the parent's session keyring. Because the COW credential code does not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again. Normally this will be after a wait*() syscall. To support this, three new security hooks have been provided: cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if the process may replace its parent's session keyring. The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it. Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path. This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. This allows the replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace execution. This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to alter the parent process's PAG membership. However, since kAFS doesn't use PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed the newpag flag. This can be tested with the following program: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <keyutils.h> #define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT 18 #define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0) int main(int argc, char **argv) { key_serial_t keyring, key; long ret; keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]); OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring"); key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring); OSERROR(key, "add_key"); ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT); OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT"); return 0; } Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like: [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show Session Keyring -3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: _ses 355907932 --alswrv 4043 -1 \_ keyring: _uid.4043 [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show Session Keyring -3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: _ses 1055658746 --alswrv 4043 4043 \_ user: a [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag hello [dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show Session Keyring -3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: hello 340417692 --alswrv 4043 4043 \_ user: a Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named 'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

Add garbage collection for dead, revoked and expired keys. This involved erasing all links to such keys from keyrings that point to them. At that point, the key will be deleted in the normal manner. Keyrings from which garbage collection occurs are shrunk and their quota consumption reduced as appropriate. Dead keys (for which the key type has been removed) will be garbage collected immediately.
