However it can also be reached via the request_key() system call in which case 'aux' will be NULL, causing a NULL pointer dereference in nfs_idmap_prepare_pipe_upcall(), assuming that the key description is valid enough to get that far. Fix this by making nfs_idmap_legacy_upcall() negate the key if no auxdata is provided. As usual, this bug was found by syzkaller. A simple reproducer using the command-line keyctl program is: keyctl request2 id_legacy uid:0 '' @s Fixes: 57e62324e469 ("NFS: Store the legacy idmapper result in the keyring") Reported-by: syzbot+5dfdbcf7b3eb5912abbb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # v3.4+ Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trondmy@xxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/fs/nfs/nfs4idmap.c b/fs/nfs/nfs4idmap.c index 30426c1a1bbd..22dc30a679a0 100644 --- a/fs/nfs/nfs4idmap.c +++ b/fs/nfs/nfs4idmap.c @@ -568,9 +568,13 @@ static int nfs_idmap_legacy_upcall(struct key_construction *cons, struct idmap_msg *im; struct idmap *idmap = (struct idmap *)aux; struct key *key = cons->key; - int ret = -ENOMEM; + int ret = -ENOKEY; + + if (!aux) + goto out1; /* msg and im are freed in idmap_pipe_destroy_msg */ + ret = -ENOMEM; data = kzalloc(sizeof(*data), GFP_KERNEL); if (!data) goto out1;
