2014-09-17KEYS: Fix termination condition in assoc array garbage collectionDavid Howells
commit 95389b08d93d5c06ec63ab49bd732b0069b7c35e upstream. This fixes CVE-2014-3631. It is possible for an associative array to end up with a shortcut node at the root of the tree if there are more than fan-out leaves in the tree, but they all crowd into the same slot in the lowest level (ie. they all have the same first nibble of their index keys). When assoc_array_gc() returns back up the tree after scanning some leaves, it can fall off of the root and crash because it assumes that the back pointer from a shortcut (after label ascend_old_tree) must point to a normal node - which isn't true of a shortcut node at the root. Should we find we're ascending rootwards over a shortcut, we should check to see if the backpointer is zero - and if it is, we have completed the scan. This particular bug cannot occur if the root node is not a shortcut - ie. if you have fewer than 17 keys in a keyring or if you have at least two keys that sit into separate slots (eg. a keyring and a non keyring). This can be reproduced by: ring=`keyctl newring bar @s` for ((i=1; i<=18; i++)); do last_key=`keyctl newring foo$i $ring`; done keyctl timeout $last_key 2 Doing this: echo 3 >/proc/sys/kernel/keys/gc_delay first will speed things up. If we do fall off of the top of the tree, we get the following oops: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018 IP: [<ffffffff8136cea7>] assoc_array_gc+0x2f7/0x540 PGD dae15067 PUD cfc24067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: xt_nat xt_mark nf_conntrack_netbios_ns nf_conntrack_broadcast ip6t_rpfilter ip6t_REJECT xt_conntrack ebtable_nat ebtable_broute bridge stp llc ebtable_filter ebtables ip6table_ni CPU: 0 PID: 26011 Comm: kworker/0:1 Not tainted 3.14.9-200.fc20.x86_64 #1 Hardware name: Bochs Bochs, BIOS Bochs 01/01/2011 Workqueue: events key_garbage_collector task: ffff8800918bd580 ti: ffff8800aac14000 task.ti: ffff8800aac14000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8136cea7>] [<ffffffff8136cea7>] assoc_array_gc+0x2f7/0x540 RSP: 0018:ffff8800aac15d40 EFLAGS: 00010206 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: ffff8800aaecacc0 RDX: ffff8800daecf440 RSI: 0000000000000001 RDI: ffff8800aadc2bc0 RBP: ffff8800aac15da8 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000003 R10: ffffffff8136ccc7 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000070 R15: 0000000000000001 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88011fc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 0000000000000018 CR3: 00000000db10d000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 Stack: ffff8800aac15d50 0000000000000011 ffff8800aac15db8 ffffffff812e2a70 ffff880091a00600 0000000000000000 ffff8800aadc2bc3 00000000cd42c987 ffff88003702df20 ffff88003702dfa0 0000000053b65c09 ffff8800aac15fd8 Call Trace: [<ffffffff812e2a70>] ? keyring_detect_cycle_iterator+0x30/0x30 [<ffffffff812e3e75>] keyring_gc+0x75/0x80 [<ffffffff812e1424>] key_garbage_collector+0x154/0x3c0 [<ffffffff810a67b6>] process_one_work+0x176/0x430 [<ffffffff810a744b>] worker_thread+0x11b/0x3a0 [<ffffffff810a7330>] ? rescuer_thread+0x3b0/0x3b0 [<ffffffff810ae1a8>] kthread+0xd8/0xf0 [<ffffffff810ae0d0>] ? insert_kthread_work+0x40/0x40 [<ffffffff816ffb7c>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 [<ffffffff810ae0d0>] ? insert_kthread_work+0x40/0x40 Code: 08 4c 8b 22 0f 84 bf 00 00 00 41 83 c7 01 49 83 e4 fc 41 83 ff 0f 4c 89 65 c0 0f 8f 5a fe ff ff 48 8b 45 c0 4d 63 cf 49 83 c1 02 <4e> 8b 34 c8 4d 85 f6 0f 84 be 00 00 00 41 f6 c6 01 0f 84 92 RIP [<ffffffff8136cea7>] assoc_array_gc+0x2f7/0x540 RSP <ffff8800aac15d40> CR2: 0000000000000018 ---[ end trace 1129028a088c0cbd ]--- Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <james.l.morris@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2014-09-17KEYS: Fix use-after-free in assoc_array_gc()David Howells
commit 27419604f51a97d497853f14142c1059d46eb597 upstream. An edit script should be considered inaccessible by a function once it has called assoc_array_apply_edit() or assoc_array_cancel_edit(). However, assoc_array_gc() is accessing the edit script just after the gc_complete: label.

2013-12-02KEYS: Fix multiple key add into associative arrayDavid Howells
If sufficient keys (or keyrings) are added into a keyring such that a node in the associative array's tree overflows (each node has a capacity N, currently 16) and such that all N+1 keys have the same index key segment for that level of the tree (the level'th nibble of the index key), then assoc_array_insert() calls ops->diff_objects() to indicate at which bit position the two index keys vary. However, __key_link_begin() passes a NULL object to assoc_array_insert() with the intention of supplying the correct pointer later before we commit the change. This means that keyring_diff_objects() is given a NULL pointer as one of its arguments which it does not expect. This results in an oops like the attached. With the previous patch to fix the keyring hash function, this can be forced much more easily by creating a keyring and only adding keyrings to it. Add any other sort of key and a different insertion path is taken - all 16+1 objects must want to cluster in the same node slot. This can be tested by: r=`keyctl newring sandbox @s` for ((i=0; i<=16; i++)); do keyctl newring ring$i $r; done This should work fine, but oopses when the 17th keyring is added. Since ops->diff_objects() is always called with the first pointer pointing to the object to be inserted (ie. the NULL pointer), we can fix the problem by changing the to-be-inserted object pointer to point to the index key passed into assoc_array_insert() instead. Whilst we're at it, we also switch the arguments so that they are the same as for ->compare_object().

2013-09-24KEYS: Expand the capacity of a keyringDavid Howells
Expand the capacity of a keyring to be able to hold a lot more keys by using the previously added associative array implementation. Currently the maximum capacity is: (PAGE_SIZE - sizeof(header)) / sizeof(struct key *) which, on a 64-bit system, is a little more 500. However, since this is being used for the NFS uid mapper, we need more than that. The new implementation gives us effectively unlimited capacity. With some alterations, the keyutils testsuite runs successfully to completion after this patch is applied. The alterations are because (a) keyrings that are simply added to no longer appear ordered and (b) some of the errors have changed a bit. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2013-09-24Add a generic associative array implementation.David Howells
Add a generic associative array implementation that can be used as the container for keyrings, thereby massively increasing the capacity available whilst also speeding up searching in keyrings that contain a lot of keys. This may also be useful in FS-Cache for tracking cookies. Documentation is added into Documentation/associative_array.txt Some of the properties of the implementation are: (1) Objects are opaque pointers. The implementation does not care where they point (if anywhere) or what they point to (if anything). [!] NOTE: Pointers to objects _must_ be zero in the two least significant bits. (2) Objects do not need to contain linkage blocks for use by the array. This permits an object to be located in multiple arrays simultaneously. Rather, the array is made up of metadata blocks that point to objects. (3) Objects are labelled as being one of two types (the type is a bool value). This information is stored in the array, but has no consequence to the array itself or its algorithms. (4) Objects require index keys to locate them within the array. (5) Index keys must be unique. Inserting an object with the same key as one already in the array will replace the old object. (6) Index keys can be of any length and can be of different lengths. (7) Index keys should encode the length early on, before any variation due to length is seen. (8) Index keys can include a hash to scatter objects throughout the array. (9) The array can iterated over. The objects will not necessarily come out in key order. (10) The array can be iterated whilst it is being modified, provided the RCU readlock is being held by the iterator. Note, however, under these circumstances, some objects may be seen more than once. If this is a problem, the iterator should lock against modification. Objects will not be missed, however, unless deleted. (11) Objects in the array can be looked up by means of their index key. (12) Objects can be looked up whilst the array is being modified, provided the RCU readlock is being held by the thread doing the look up. The implementation uses a tree of 16-pointer nodes internally that are indexed on each level by nibbles from the index key. To improve memory efficiency, shortcuts can be emplaced to skip over what would otherwise be a series of single-occupancy nodes. Further, nodes pack leaf object pointers into spare space in the node rather than making an extra branch until as such time an object needs to be added to a full node.
