From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>
Currently, fscrypt policies and xattrs identify the master key by
master_key_descriptor, which is an arbitrary 8-byte value used to form
the description of the keyring key. However, there is no verification
that the key descriptor in any way corresponds with the key payload.
Since ->i_crypt_info by necessity gets set up on a "first come, first
serve" basis, this flaw allows a process with only read-only access to
an encrypted file or directory to provide the wrong key, causing the
file contents or directory listing to be corrupted. This is a bug with
security implications which must be fixed.
To fix this bug without simply locking down adding keys to root, we must
replace master_key_descriptor with a cryptographic hash of the key. We
name the replacement master_key_identifier and make it 16 bytes long,
which should provide enough collision resistance, and more importantly
preimage resistance, without bloating the size of the encryption xattr
too much.
This will be both an on-disk format and API change, since we'll need to
define new versions of both the fscrypt_context and fscrypt_policy.
This patch begins this process by defining the UAPI changes to manage v2
policies. (Note: we jump to version 2 even though the previous policy
version number was 0 because the fscrypt_context was actually already
using version 1, not version 0. It would be really confusing to have
them always be 1 off from each other.)
The existing FS_IOC_SET_ENCRYPTION_POLICY will be used to set a v2
policy, as the kernel will be able to examine the 'version' field.
However, a new ioctl FS_IOC_GET_ENCRYPTION_POLICY_EX is needed to get a
v2 policy, since the returned struct needs to be larger. This ioctl
includes a size field as input, so that it can be used for both v1 and
v2 policies as well as any new policy versions that may get added in the
future.
