3.16.62-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 794b4bc292f5d31739d89c0202c54e7dc9bc3add upstream. With the 'encrypted' key type it was possible for userspace to provide a data blob ending with a master key description shorter than expected, e.g. 'keyctl add encrypted desc "new x" @s'. When validating such a master key description, validate_master_desc() could read beyond the end of the buffer. Fix this by using strncmp() instead of memcmp(). [Also clean up the code to deduplicate some logic.] Cc: Mimi Zohar <zohar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: James Morris <james.l.morris@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- security/keys/encrypted-keys/encrypted.c | 31 ++++++++++++------------ 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) --- a/security/keys/encrypted-keys/encrypted.c +++ b/security/keys/encrypted-keys/encrypted.c @@ -141,23 +141,22 @@ static int valid_ecryptfs_desc(const cha */ static int valid_master_desc(const char *new_desc, const char *orig_desc) { - if (!memcmp(new_desc, KEY_TRUSTED_PREFIX, KEY_TRUSTED_PREFIX_LEN)) { - if (strlen(new_desc) == KEY_TRUSTED_PREFIX_LEN) - goto out; - if (orig_desc) - if (memcmp(new_desc, orig_desc, KEY_TRUSTED_PREFIX_LEN)) - goto out; - } else if (!memcmp(new_desc, KEY_USER_PREFIX, KEY_USER_PREFIX_LEN)) { - if (strlen(new_desc) == KEY_USER_PREFIX_LEN) - goto out; - if (orig_desc) - if (memcmp(new_desc, orig_desc, KEY_USER_PREFIX_LEN)) - goto out; - } else - goto out; + int prefix_len; + + if (!strncmp(new_desc, KEY_TRUSTED_PREFIX, KEY_TRUSTED_PREFIX_LEN)) + prefix_len = KEY_TRUSTED_PREFIX_LEN; + else if (!strncmp(new_desc, KEY_USER_PREFIX, KEY_USER_PREFIX_LEN)) + prefix_len = KEY_USER_PREFIX_LEN; + else + return -EINVAL; + + if (!new_desc[prefix_len]) + return -EINVAL; + + if (orig_desc && strncmp(new_desc, orig_desc, prefix_len)) + return -EINVAL; + return 0; -out: - return -EINVAL; } /*
