commit b4a1b4f5047e4f54e194681125c74c0aa64d637d upstream.

This fixes CVE-2015-7550.

There's a race between keyctl_read() and keyctl_revoke().  If the revoke
happens between keyctl_read() checking the validity of a key and the key's
semaphore being taken, then the key type read method will see a revoked key.

This causes a problem for the user-defined key type because it assumes in
its read method that there will always be a payload in a non-revoked key
and doesn't check for a NULL pointer.

Fix this by making keyctl_read() check the validity of a key after taking
semaphore instead of before.

I think the bug was introduced with the original keyrings code.

This was discovered by a multithreaded test program generated by syzkaller
(http://github.com/google/syzkaller).  Here's a cleaned up version:

	#include &lt;sys/types.h&gt;
	#include &lt;keyutils.h&gt;
	#include &lt;pthread.h&gt;
	void *thr0(void *arg)
	{
		key_serial_t key = (unsigned long)arg;
		keyctl_revoke(key);
		return 0;
	}
	void *thr1(void *arg)
	{
		key_serial_t key = (unsigned long)arg;
		char buffer[16];
		keyctl_read(key, buffer, 16);
		return 0;
	}
	int main()
	{
		key_serial_t key = add_key("user", "%", "foo", 3, KEY_SPEC_USER_KEYRING);
		pthread_t th[5];
		pthread_create(&amp;th[0], 0, thr0, (void *)(unsigned long)key);
		pthread_create(&amp;th[1], 0, thr1, (void *)(unsigned long)key);
		pthread_create(&amp;th[2], 0, thr0, (void *)(unsigned long)key);
		pthread_create(&amp;th[3], 0, thr1, (void *)(unsigned long)key);
		pthread_join(th[0], 0);
		pthread_join(th[1], 0);
		pthread_join(th[2], 0);
		pthread_join(th[3], 0);
		return 0;
	}

Build as:

	cc -o keyctl-race keyctl-race.c -lkeyutils -lpthread

Run as:

	while keyctl-race; do :; done

as it may need several iterations to crash the kernel.  The crash can be
summarised as:

	BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010

<title>SELinux: Fix kernel BUG on empty security contexts.</title>

commit 2172fa709ab32ca60e86179dc67d0857be8e2c98 upstream

Setting an empty security context (length=0) on a file will
lead to incorrectly dereferencing the type and other fields
of the security context structure, yielding a kernel BUG.
As a zero-length security context is never valid, just reject
all such security contexts whether coming from userspace
via setxattr or coming from the filesystem upon a getxattr
request by SELinux.

Setting a security context value (empty or otherwise) unknown to
SELinux in the first place is only possible for a root process
(CAP_MAC_ADMIN), and, if running SELinux in enforcing mode, only
if the corresponding SELinux mac_admin permission is also granted
to the domain by policy.  In Fedora policies, this is only allowed for
specific domains such as livecd for setting down security contexts
that are not defined in the build host policy.

Reproducer:
su
setenforce 0
touch foo
setfattr -n security.selinux foo

Caveat:
Relabeling or removing foo after doing the above may not be possible
without booting with SELinux disabled.  Any subsequent access to foo
after doing the above will also trigger the BUG.

<title>keys: fix race with concurrent install_user_keyrings()</title>

commit 0da9dfdd2cd9889201bc6f6f43580c99165cd087 upstream.

This fixes CVE-2013-1792.

There is a race in install_user_keyrings() that can cause a NULL pointer
dereference when called concurrently for the same user if the uid and
uid-session keyrings are not yet created.  It might be possible for an
unprivileged user to trigger this by calling keyctl() from userspace in
parallel immediately after logging in.

Assume that we have two threads both executing lookup_user_key(), both
looking for KEY_SPEC_USER_SESSION_KEYRING.

	THREAD A			THREAD B
	===============================	===============================
					==&gt;call install_user_keyrings();
	if (!cred-&gt;user-&gt;session_keyring)
	==&gt;call install_user_keyrings()
					...
					user-&gt;uid_keyring = uid_keyring;
	if (user-&gt;uid_keyring)
		return 0;
	&lt;==
	key = cred-&gt;user-&gt;session_keyring [== NULL]
					user-&gt;session_keyring = session_keyring;
	atomic_inc(&amp;key-&gt;usage); [oops]

At the point thread A dereferences cred-&gt;user-&gt;session_keyring, thread B
hasn't updated user-&gt;session_keyring yet, but thread A assumes it is
populated because install_user_keyrings() returned ok.

The race window is really small but can be exploited if, for example,
thread B is interrupted or preempted after initializing uid_keyring, but
before doing setting session_keyring.

This couldn't be reproduced on a stock kernel.  However, after placing
systemtap probe on 'user-&gt;session_keyring = session_keyring;' that
introduced some delay, the kernel could be crashed reliably.

Fix this by checking both pointers before deciding whether to return.
Alternatively, the test could be done away with entirely as it is checked
inside the mutex - but since the mutex is global, that may not be the best
way.

commit d52fc5dde171f030170a6cb78034d166b13c9445 upstream

If a process increases permissions using fcaps all of the dangerous
personality flags which are cleared for suid apps should also be cleared.
Thus programs given priviledge with fcaps will continue to have address space
randomization enabled even if the parent tried to disable it to make it
easier to attack.

commit 45fae7493970d7c45626ccd96d4a74f5f1eea5a9 upstream.

Info about new measurements are cached in the iint for performance.  When
the inode is flushed from cache, the associated iint is flushed as well.
Subsequent access to the inode will cause the inode to be re-measured and
will attempt to add a duplicate entry to the measurement list.

This patch frees the duplicate measurement memory, fixing a memory leak.

commit 2edeaa34a6e3f2c43b667f6c4f7b27944b811695 upstream.

In cred_alloc_blank() since 2.6.32, abort_creds(new) is called with
new-&gt;security == NULL and new-&gt;magic == 0 when security_cred_alloc_blank()
returns an error.  As a result, BUG() will be triggered if SELinux is enabled
or CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS=y.

If CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS=y, BUG() is called from __invalid_creds() because
cred-&gt;magic == 0.  Failing that, BUG() is called from selinux_cred_free()
because selinux_cred_free() is not expecting cred-&gt;security == NULL.  This does
not affect smack_cred_free(), tomoyo_cred_free() or apparmor_cred_free().

Fix these bugs by

(1) Set new-&gt;magic before calling security_cred_alloc_blank().

(2) Handle null cred-&gt;security in creds_are_invalid() and selinux_cred_free().

<title>SELinux: do not compute transition labels on mountpoint labeled filesystems</title>

commit 415103f9932d45f7927f4b17e3a9a13834cdb9a1 upstream.

selinux_inode_init_security computes transitions sids even for filesystems
that use mount point labeling.  It shouldn't do that.  It should just use
the mount point label always and no matter what.

This causes 2 problems.  1) it makes file creation slower than it needs to be
since we calculate the transition sid and 2) it allows files to be created
with a different label than the mount point!

Commit 2f90b865 added two new netlink message types to the netlink route
socket.  SELinux has hooks to define if netlink messages are allowed to
be sent or received, but it did not know about these two new message
types.  By default we allow such actions so noone likely noticed.  This
patch adds the proper definitions and thus proper permissions
enforcement.
