commit 624f5ab8720b3371367327a822c267699c1823b8 upstream.

syzkaller reported a NULL pointer dereference in asn1_ber_decoder().  It
can be reproduced by the following command, assuming
CONFIG_PKCS7_TEST_KEY=y:

        keyctl add pkcs7_test desc '' @s

The bug is that if the data buffer is empty, an integer underflow occurs
in the following check:

        if (unlikely(dp &gt;= datalen - 1))
                goto data_overrun_error;

This results in the NULL data pointer being dereferenced.

Fix it by checking for 'datalen - dp &lt; 2' instead.

Also fix the similar check for 'dp &gt;= datalen - n' later in the same
function.  That one possibly could result in a buffer overread.

The NULL pointer dereference was reproducible using the "pkcs7_test" key
type but not the "asymmetric" key type because the "asymmetric" key type
checks for a 0-length payload before calling into the ASN.1 decoder but
the "pkcs7_test" key type does not.

The bug report was:

commit 2eb9eabf1e868fda15808954fb29b0f105ed65f1 upstream.

syzkaller with KASAN reported an out-of-bounds read in
asn1_ber_decoder().  It can be reproduced by the following command,
assuming CONFIG_X509_CERTIFICATE_PARSER=y and CONFIG_KASAN=y:

    keyctl add asymmetric desc $'\x30\x30' @s

The bug is that the length of an ASN.1 data value isn't validated in the
case where it is encoded using the short form, causing the decoder to
read past the end of the input buffer.  Fix it by validating the length.

The bug report was:

commit 192cabd6a296cbc57b3d8c05c4c89d87fc102506 upstream.

digsig_verify() requests a user key, then accesses its payload.
However, a revoked key has a NULL payload, and we failed to check for
this.  request_key() *does* skip revoked keys, but there is still a
window where the key can be revoked before we acquire its semaphore.

Fix it by checking for a NULL payload, treating it like a key which was
already revoked at the time it was requested.

commit f36963c9d3f6f415732710da3acdd8608a9fa0e upstream.

da91309e0a7e (cpumask: Utility function to set n'th cpu...) created a
genuinely weird function.  I never saw it before, it went through DaveM.
(He only does this to make us other maintainers feel better about our own
mistakes.)

cpumask_set_cpu_local_first's purpose is say "I need to spread things
across N online cpus, choose the ones on this numa node first"; you call
it in a loop.

It can fail.  One of the two callers ignores this, the other aborts and
fails the device open.

It can fail in two ways: allocating the off-stack cpumask, or through a
convoluted codepath which AFAICT can only occur if cpu_online_mask
changes.  Which shouldn't happen, because if cpu_online_mask can change
while you call this, it could return a now-offline cpu anyway.

It contains a nonsensical test "!cpumask_of_node(numa_node)".  This was
drawn to my attention by Geert, who said this causes a warning on Sparc.
It sets a single bit in a cpumask instead of returning a cpu number,
because that's what the callers want.

It could be made more efficient by passing the previous cpu rather than
an index, but that would be more invasive to the callers.

<title>assoc_array: Fix a buggy node-splitting case</title>

commit ea6789980fdaa610d7eb63602c746bf6ec70cd2b upstream.

This fixes CVE-2017-12193.

Fix a case in the assoc_array implementation in which a new leaf is
added that needs to go into a node that happens to be full, where the
existing leaves in that node cluster together at that level to the
exclusion of new leaf.

What needs to happen is that the existing leaves get moved out to a new
node, N1, at level + 1 and the existing node needs replacing with one,
N0, that has pointers to the new leaf and to N1.

The code that tries to do this gets this wrong in two ways:

 (1) The pointer that should've pointed from N0 to N1 is set to point
     recursively to N0 instead.

 (2) The backpointer from N0 needs to be set correctly in the case N0 is
     either the root node or reached through a shortcut.

Fix this by removing this path and using the split_node path instead,
which achieves the same end, but in a more general way (thanks to Eric
Biggers for spotting the redundancy).

The problem manifests itself as:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010
  IP: assoc_array_apply_edit+0x59/0xe5

commit a91e0f680bcd9e10c253ae8b62462a38bd48f09f upstream.

When using get_options() it's possible to specify a range of numbers,
like 1-100500.  The problem is that it doesn't track array size while
calling internally to get_range() which iterates over the range and
fills the memory with numbers.

On 64 bit, size may very well be huge even if bit 31 happens to be 0.
Somehow it doesn't feel right that one can pass a 5 GiB buffer but not a
3 GiB one.  So cap at INT_MAX as was probably the intention all along.
This is also the made-up value passed by sprintf and vsprintf.

<title>mpi: Fix NULL ptr dereference in mpi_powm() [ver #3]</title>

commit f5527fffff3f002b0a6b376163613b82f69de073 upstream.

This fixes CVE-2016-8650.

If mpi_powm() is given a zero exponent, it wants to immediately return
either 1 or 0, depending on the modulus.  However, if the result was
initalised with zero limb space, no limbs space is allocated and a
NULL-pointer exception ensues.

Fix this by allocating a minimal amount of limb space for the result when
the 0-exponent case when the result is 1 and not touching the limb space
when the result is 0.

This affects the use of RSA keys and X.509 certificates that carry them.

commit f5527fffff3f002b0a6b376163613b82f69de073 upstream.

This fixes CVE-2016-8650.

If mpi_powm() is given a zero exponent, it wants to immediately return
either 1 or 0, depending on the modulus.  However, if the result was
initalised with zero limb space, no limbs space is allocated and a
NULL-pointer exception ensues.

Fix this by allocating a minimal amount of limb space for the result when
the 0-exponent case when the result is 1 and not touching the limb space
when the result is 0.

This affects the use of RSA keys and X.509 certificates that carry them.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)

<title>lib/genalloc.c: start search from start of chunk</title>

commit 62e931fac45b17c2a42549389879411572f75804 upstream.

gen_pool_alloc_algo() iterates over the chunks of a pool trying to find
a contiguous block of memory that satisfies the allocation request.

The shortcut

	if (size &gt; atomic_read(&amp;chunk-&gt;avail))
		continue;

makes the loop skip over chunks that do not have enough bytes left to
fulfill the request.  There are two situations, though, where an
allocation might still fail:

(1) The available memory is not contiguous, i.e.  the request cannot
    be fulfilled due to external fragmentation.

(2) A race condition.  Another thread runs the same code concurrently
    and is quicker to grab the available memory.

In those situations, the loop calls pool-&gt;algo() to search the entire
chunk, and pool-&gt;algo() returns some value that is &gt;= end_bit to
indicate that the search failed.  This return value is then assigned to
start_bit.  The variables start_bit and end_bit describe the range that
should be searched, and this range should be reset for every chunk that
is searched.  Today, the code fails to reset start_bit to 0.  As a
result, prefixes of subsequent chunks are ignored.  Memory allocations
might fail even though there is plenty of room left in these prefixes of
those other chunks.
