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

The X.509 parser mishandles the case where the certificate's signature's
hash algorithm is not available in the crypto API.  In this case,
x509_get_sig_params() doesn't allocate the cert-&gt;sig-&gt;digest buffer;
this part seems to be intentional.  However,
public_key_verify_signature() is still called via
x509_check_for_self_signed(), which triggers the 'BUG_ON(!sig-&gt;digest)'.

Fix this by making public_key_verify_signature() return -ENOPKG if the
hash buffer has not been allocated.

Reproducer when all the CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA512* options are disabled:

    openssl req -new -sha512 -x509 -batch -nodes -outform der \

<title>PKCS#7: fix direct verification of SignerInfo signature</title>

If none of the certificates in a SignerInfo's certificate chain match a
trusted key, nor is the last certificate signed by a trusted key, then
pkcs7_validate_trust_one() tries to check whether the SignerInfo's
signature was made directly by a trusted key.  But, it actually fails to
set the 'sig' variable correctly, so it actually verifies the last
signature seen.  That will only be the SignerInfo's signature if the
certificate chain is empty; otherwise it will actually be the last
certificate's signature.

This is not by itself a security problem, since verifying any of the
certificates in the chain should be sufficient to verify the SignerInfo.
Still, it's not working as intended so it should be fixed.

Fix it by setting 'sig' correctly for the direct verification case.

If there is a blacklisted certificate in a SignerInfo's certificate
chain, then pkcs7_verify_sig_chain() sets sinfo-&gt;blacklisted and returns
0.  But, pkcs7_verify() fails to handle this case appropriately, as it
actually continues on to the line 'actual_ret = 0;', indicating that the
SignerInfo has passed verification.  Consequently, PKCS#7 signature
verification ignores the certificate blacklist.

Fix this by not considering blacklisted SignerInfos to have passed
verification.

Also fix the function comment with regards to when 0 is returned.

<content type='text'>
When pkcs7_verify_sig_chain() is building the certificate chain for a
SignerInfo using the certificates in the PKCS#7 message, it is passing
the wrong arguments to public_key_verify_signature().  Consequently,
when the next certificate is supposed to be used to verify the previous
certificate, the next certificate is actually used to verify itself.

An attacker can use this bug to create a bogus certificate chain that
has no cryptographic relationship between the beginning and end.

Fortunately I couldn't quite find a way to use this to bypass the
overall signature verification, though it comes very close.  Here's the
reasoning: due to the bug, every certificate in the chain beyond the
first actually has to be self-signed (where "self-signed" here refers to
the actual key and signature; an attacker might still manipulate the
certificate fields such that the self_signed flag doesn't actually get
set, and thus the chain doesn't end immediately).  But to pass trust
validation (pkcs7_validate_trust()), either the SignerInfo or one of the
certificates has to actually be signed by a trusted key.  Since only
self-signed certificates can be added to the chain, the only way for an
attacker to introduce a trusted signature is to include a self-signed
trusted certificate.

But, when pkcs7_validate_trust_one() reaches that certificate, instead
of trying to verify the signature on that certificate, it will actually
look up the corresponding trusted key, which will succeed, and then try
to verify the *previous* certificate, which will fail.  Thus, disaster
is narrowly averted (as far as I could tell).

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

As reported by kbuild test robot, the optimized SHA3 C implementation
compiles to mn10300 code that uses a disproportionate amount of stack
space, i.e.,

  crypto/sha3_generic.c: In function 'keccakf':
  crypto/sha3_generic.c:147:1: warning: the frame size of 1232 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

As kindly diagnosed by Arnd, this does not only occur when building for
the mn10300 architecture (which is what the report was about) but also
for h8300, and builds for other 32-bit architectures show an increase in
stack space utilization as well.

Given that SHA3 operates on 64-bit quantities, and keeps a state matrix
of 25 64-bit words, it is not surprising that 32-bit architectures with
few general purpose registers are impacted the most by this, and it is
therefore reasonable to implement a workaround that distinguishes between
32-bit and 64-bit architectures.

Arnd figured out that taking the round calculation out of the loop, and
inlining it explicitly but only on 64-bit architectures preserves most
of the performance gain achieved by the rewrite, and also gets rid of
the excessive use of stack space.

As reported by kbuild test robot, the optimized SHA3 C implementation
compiles to mn10300 code that uses a disproportionate amount of stack
space, i.e.,

  crypto/sha3_generic.c: In function 'keccakf':
  crypto/sha3_generic.c:147:1: warning: the frame size of 1232 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

As kindly diagnosed by Arnd, this does not only occur when building for
the mn10300 architecture (which is what the report was about) but also
for h8300, and builds for other 32-bit architectures show an increase in
stack space utilization as well.
