Subject: KEYS: Change the name of the dead type to ".dead" to prevent user
|
|
access
|
|
|
|
commit c1644fe041ebaf6519f6809146a77c3ead9193af 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: Remove key_type::match in favour of overriding default by match_preparse
|
|
|
|
which went in before 3.18-rc1.
