      KEYS: Change the name of the dead type to ".dead" to prevent user access · cc4f9841
      David Howells authored
      commit c1644fe0 upstream.
      
      This fixes CVE-2017-6951.
      
      Userspace should not be able to do things with the "dead" key type as it
      doesn't have some of the helper functions set upon it that the kernel
      needs.  Attempting to use it may cause the kernel to crash.
      
      Fix this by changing the name of the type to ".dead" so that it's rejected
      up front on userspace syscalls by key_get_type_from_user().
      
      Though this doesn't seem to affect recent kernels, it does affect older
      ones, certainly those prior to:

      KEYS: Disallow keyrings beginning with '.' to be joined as session keyrings · 4cbbfd6a
      David Howells authored
      commit ee8f844e upstream.
      
      This fixes CVE-2016-9604.
      
      Keyrings whose name begin with a '.' are special internal keyrings and so
      userspace isn't allowed to create keyrings by this name to prevent
      shadowing.  However, the patch that added the guard didn't fix
      KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING.  Not only can that create dot-named keyrings,
      it can also subscribe to them as a session keyring if they grant SEARCH
      permission to the user.
      
      This, for example, allows a root process to set .builtin_trusted_keys as
      its session keyring, at which point it has full access because now the
      possessor permissions are added.  This permits root to add extra public
      keys, thereby bypassing module verification.
      
      This also affects kexec and IMA.
      
      This can be tested by (as root):
      
      	keyctl session .builtin_trusted_keys
      	keyctl add user a a @s
      	keyctl list @s
      
      which on my test box gives me:
      
      	2 keys in keyring:
      	180010936: ---lswrv     0     0 asymmetric: Build time autogenerated kernel key: ae3d4a31b82daa8e1a75b49dc2bba949fd992a05
      	801382539: --alswrv     0     0 user: a
      
      
      Fix this by rejecting names beginning with a '.' in the keyctl.
