Subject: [PATCH 4/6] KEYS: find_keyring_by_name() can gain access to a freed keyring
From: Toshiyuki Okajima <toshi.okajima@...fujitsu.com>
find_keyring_by_name() can gain access to a keyring that has had its reference
count reduced to zero, and is thus ready to be freed. This then allows the
dead keyring to be brought back into use whilst it is being destroyed.
The following timeline illustrates the process:
|(cleaner) (user)
|
| free_user(user) sys_keyctl()
| | |
| key_put(user->session_keyring) keyctl_get_keyring_ID()
| || //=> keyring->usage = 0 |
| |schedule_work(&key_cleanup_task) lookup_user_key()
| || |
| kmem_cache_free(,user) |
| . |[KEY_SPEC_USER_KEYRING]
| . install_user_keyrings()
| . ||
| key_cleanup() [<= worker_thread()] ||
| | ||

| | ||

This problem is that find_keyring_by_name does not confirm that the keyring is
valid before accepting it.
Skipping keyrings that have been reduced to a zero count seems the way to go.
To this end, use atomic_inc_not_zero() to increment the usage count and skip
the candidate keyring if that returns false.
The following script _may_ cause the bug to happen, but there's no guarantee
as the window of opportunity is small:
#!/bin/sh
LOOP=100000
USER=dummy_user
/bin/su -c "exit;" $USER || { /usr/sbin/adduser -m $USER; add=1; }
for ((i=0; i<LOOP; i++))
do
/bin/su -c "echo '$i' > /dev/null" $USER
done
(( add == 1 )) && /usr/sbin/userdel -r $USER
exit
Note that the nominated user must not be in use.
An alternative way of testing this may be:
for ((i=0; i<100000; i++))
do
keyctl session foo /bin/true || break
done >&/dev/null
as that uses a keyring named "foo" rather than relying on the user and
user-session named keyrings.
