[PATCH 3.2 22/94] KEYS: fix key refcount leak in keyctl_read_key()

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

 



3.2.97-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7fc0786d956d9e59b68d282be9b156179846ea3d upstream.

In keyctl_read_key(), if key_permission() were to return an error code
other than EACCES, we would leak a the reference to the key.  This can't
actually happen currently because key_permission() can only return an
error code other than EACCES if security_key_permission() does, only
SELinux and Smack implement that hook, and neither can return an error
code other than EACCES.  But it should still be fixed, as it is a bug
waiting to happen.
