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 Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trondmy@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/nfs/nfs4idmap.c | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/fs/nfs/nfs4idmap.c +++ b/fs/nfs/nfs4idmap.c @@ -567,9 +567,13 @@ static int nfs_idmap_legacy_upcall(struc 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; Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx are queue-4.4/keys-encrypted-fix-buffer-overread-in-valid_master_desc.patch queue-4.4/x86-kaiser-fix-build-error-with-kasan-function_graph_tracer.patch queue-4.4/nfs-reject-request-for-id_legacy-key-without-auxdata.patch
