commit 38327424 upstream. If __key_link_begin() failed then "edit" would be uninitialized. I've added a check to fix that. This allows a random user to crash the kernel, though it's quite difficult to achieve. There are three ways it can be done as the user would have to cause an error to occur in __key_link(): (1) Cause the kernel to run out of memory. In practice, this is difficult to achieve without ENOMEM cropping up elsewhere and aborting the attempt. (2) Revoke the destination keyring between the keyring ID being looked up and it being tested for revocation. In practice, this is difficult to time correctly because the KEYCTL_REJECT function can only be used from the request-key upcall process. Further, users can only make use of what's in /sbin/request-key.conf, though this does including a rejection debugging test - which means that the destination keyring has to be the caller's session keyring in practice. (3) Have just enough key quota available to create a key, a new session keyring for the upcall and a link in the session keyring, but not then sufficient quota to create a link in the nominated destination keyring so that it fails with EDQUOT. The bug can be triggered using option (3) above using something like the following: echo 80 >/proc/sys/kernel/keys/root_maxbytes keyctl request2 user debug:fred negate @t The above sets the quota to something much lower (80) to make the bug easier to trigger, but this is dependent on the system. Note also that the name of the keyring created contains a random number that may be between 1 and 10 characters in size, so may throw the test off by changing the amount of quota used. Assuming the failure occurs, something like the following will be seen: kfree_debugcheck: out of range ptr 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b68h ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at ../mm/slab.c:2821! ...
