From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> The asymmetric key type allows an X.509 certificate to be added even if its signature's hash algorithm is not available in the crypto API. In that case 'payload.data[asym_auth]' will be NULL. But the key restriction code failed to check for this case before trying to use the signature, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference in key_or_keyring_common() or in restrict_link_by_signature(). Fix this by returning -ENOPKG when the signature is unsupported. Reproducer when all the CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA512* options are disabled and keyctl has support for the 'restrict_keyring' command: keyctl new_session keyctl restrict_keyring @s asymmetric builtin_trusted openssl req -new -sha512 -x509 -batch -nodes -outform der \ | keyctl padd asymmetric desc @s Fixes: a511e1af8b12 ("KEYS: Move the point of trust determination to __key_link()") Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # v4.7+ Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> --- crypto/asymmetric_keys/restrict.c | 21 +++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/crypto/asymmetric_keys/restrict.c b/crypto/asymmetric_keys/restrict.c index 86fb68508952..7c93c7728454 100644 --- a/crypto/asymmetric_keys/restrict.c +++ b/crypto/asymmetric_keys/restrict.c @@ -67,8 +67,9 @@ __setup("ca_keys=", ca_keys_setup); * * Returns 0 if the new certificate was accepted, -ENOKEY if we couldn't find a * matching parent certificate in the trusted list, -EKEYREJECTED if the - * signature check fails or the key is blacklisted and some other error if - * there is a matching certificate but the signature check cannot be performed. + * signature check fails or the key is blacklisted, -ENOPKG if the signature + * uses unsupported crypto, or some other error if there is a matching + * certificate but the signature check cannot be performed. */ int restrict_link_by_signature(struct key *dest_keyring, const struct key_type *type, @@ -88,6 +89,8 @@ int restrict_link_by_signature(struct key *dest_keyring, return -EOPNOTSUPP; sig = payload->data[asym_auth]; + if (!sig) + return -ENOPKG; if (!sig->auth_ids[0] && !sig->auth_ids[1]) return -ENOKEY; @@ -139,6 +142,8 @@ static int key_or_keyring_common(struct key *dest_keyring, return -EOPNOTSUPP; sig = payload->data[asym_auth]; + if (!sig) + return -ENOPKG; if (!sig->auth_ids[0] && !sig->auth_ids[1]) return -ENOKEY; @@ -222,9 +227,9 @@ static int key_or_keyring_common(struct key *dest_keyring, * * Returns 0 if the new certificate was accepted, -ENOKEY if we * couldn't find a matching parent certificate in the trusted list, - * -EKEYREJECTED if the signature check fails, and some other error if - * there is a matching certificate but the signature check cannot be - * performed. + * -EKEYREJECTED if the signature check fails, -ENOPKG if the signature uses + * unsupported crypto, or some other error if there is a matching certificate + * but the signature check cannot be performed. */ int restrict_link_by_key_or_keyring(struct key *dest_keyring, const struct key_type *type, @@ -249,9 +254,9 @@ int restrict_link_by_key_or_keyring(struct key *dest_keyring, * * Returns 0 if the new certificate was accepted, -ENOKEY if we * couldn't find a matching parent certificate in the trusted list, - * -EKEYREJECTED if the signature check fails, and some other error if - * there is a matching certificate but the signature check cannot be - * performed. + * -EKEYREJECTED if the signature check fails, -ENOPKG if the signature uses + * unsupported crypto, or some other error if there is a matching certificate + * but the signature check cannot be performed. */ int restrict_link_by_key_or_keyring_chain(struct key *dest_keyring, const struct key_type *type, -- 2.16.0.rc1.238.g530d649a79-goog
