From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> keyctl_restrict_keyring() allows through a NULL restriction when the "type" is non-NULL, which causes a NULL pointer dereference in asymmetric_lookup_restriction() when it calls strcmp() on the restriction string. But no key types actually use a "NULL restriction" to mean anything, so update keyctl_restrict_keyring() to reject it with EINVAL.
Since this fixes the bug for the asymmetric key type and ensures that other key types won't make the same mistake, I agree this is the way to fix it. I did not find any issues in the patch.
Thanks, Mat
