Merge branch 'fixes-v4.14-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security

Pull keys fixes from James Morris:
 "Notable here is a rewrite of big_key crypto by Jason Donenfeld to
  address some issues in the original code.

  From Jason's commit log:
   "This started out as just replacing the use of crypto/rng with
    get_random_bytes_wait, so that we wouldn't use bad randomness at
    boot time. But, upon looking further, it appears that there were
    even deeper underlying cryptographic problems, and that this seems
    to have been committed with very little crypto review. So, I rewrote
    the whole thing, trying to keep to the conventions introduced by the
    previous author, to fix these cryptographic flaws."

  There has been positive review of the new code by Eric Biggers and
  Herbert Xu, and it passes basic testing via the keyutils test suite.
  Eric also manually tested it.

  Generally speaking, we likely need to improve the amount of crypto
  review for kernel crypto users including keys (I'll post a note
  separately to ksummit-discuss)"

* 'fixes-v4.14-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security:
  security/keys: rewrite all of big_key crypto
  security/keys: properly zero out sensitive key material in big_key
  KEYS: use kmemdup() in request_key_auth_new()
  KEYS: restrict /proc/keys by credentials at open time
  KEYS: reset parent each time before searching key_user_tree
  KEYS: prevent KEYCTL_READ on negative key
  KEYS: prevent creating a different user's keyrings
  KEYS: fix writing past end of user-supplied buffer in keyring_read()
  KEYS: fix key refcount leak in keyctl_read_key()
  KEYS: fix key refcount leak in keyctl_assume_authority()
  KEYS: don't revoke uninstantiated key in request_key_auth_new()
  KEYS: fix cred refcount leak in request_key_auth_new()
