From f05819df10d7b09f6d1eb6f8534a8f68e5a4fe61 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2015 17:21:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] KEYS: Fix crash when attempt to garbage collect an uninstantiated keyring 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: [] keyring_destroy+0x3d/0x88 ...

This is a 32-bit representation of -ENOKEY. The solution is to only call ->destroy() if the key was successfully instantiated.
