KEYS: Don't permit request_key() to construct a new keyring
commit 911b79cd upstream. If request_key() is used to find a keyring, only do the search part - don't do the construction part if the keyring was not found by the search. We don't really want keyrings in the negative instantiated state since the rejected/negative instantiation error value in the payload is unioned with keyring metadata. Now the kernel gives an error: request_key("keyring", "#selinux,bdekeyring", "keyring", KEY_SPEC_USER_SESSION_KEYRING) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted) Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kamal Mostafa <kamal@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@canonical.com>
