[RFC PATCH 1/5] keys: Move permissions checking decisions into the checking code

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Overhaul the permissions checking, moving the decisions of which permits to
request for what operation and what overrides to allow into the permissions
checking functions in keyrings, SELinux and Smack.

To this end, the KEY_NEED_* constants are turned into an enum and expanded
in number to cover operation types individually.

Note that some more tweaking is probably needed to separate kernel uses,
e.g. AFS using rxrpc keys, from direct userspace users.

Some overrides are available and this needs to be handled specially:

 (1) KEY_FLAG_KEEP in key->flags - The key may not be deleted and/or things
     may not be removed from the keyring.  This can only be set inside the
     kernel.  It's used to protect the blacklist keyring and the keys in
     it, for example.

 (2) KEY_FLAG_ROOT_CAN_CLEAR in key->flags - The keyring can be cleared by
     CAP_SYS_ADMIN.  This can only be set by the kernel and is used to
     allow the system admin to manually clear a keyring that is used for
     caching network filesystem information (eg. DNS) upcall results.

 (3) KEY_FLAG_ROOT_CAN_INVAL in key->flags - The key can be invalidated by
     CAP_SYS_ADMIN.  This can only be set by the kernel and is used to
     allow the system admin to manually invalidate a key that is caching
     the result of a netfs information upcall (eg. DNS).

 (4) An appropriate auth token being set in cred->request_key_auth that
     gives a process transient permission to view and instantiate a key.
     This is used by the kernel to delegate instantiation to userspace.  It
     can only be automatically generated by request_key() to allow an
     upcalled instantiator program access to the key to be instantiated and
     the keyrings of the process that called request_key().

     Possibly an additional permission check should be imposed to allow the
     upcall process to actually access the calling process's keyrings.

Note that this requires some tweaks to the testsuite as some of the error
codes change:

 (*) KEYCTL_DH_COMPUTE now passes the error from lookup_user_key() back
     rather than replacing it unconditionally with ENOKEY.  This means that
     permission and other errors are now correctly seen (including now
     getting EINVAL for a key ID of 0 - which is never valid).

 (*) KEYCTL_READ now sees EINVAL rather than ENOKEY for a key ID of 0.
     Internally, this is because the code trying to work out whether a key
     can be read can now be moved into the permissions checking code - where
     it's easier to evaluate - and lookup_user_key() can be called without
     deferral of the permission check.
