From 012146d0728f85f7a5c7c36fb84bba33e2760507 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2011 14:09:00 +0100 Subject: CRED: Fix prepare_kernel_cred() to provide a new thread_group_cred struct Fix prepare_kernel_cred() to provide a new, separate thread_group_cred struct otherwise when using request_key() ____call_usermodehelper() calls umh_keys_init() with the new creds pointing to init_tgcred, which umh_keys_init() then blithely alters. The problem can be demonstrated by: # keyctl request2 user a debug:a @s 249681132 # grep req /proc/keys 079906a5 I--Q-- 1 perm 1f3f0000 0 0 keyring _req.249681132: 1/4 38ef1626 IR---- 1 expd 0b010000 0 0 .request_ key:ee1d4ec pid:4371 ci:1 The keyring _req.XXXX should have gone away, but something (init_tgcred) is pinning it. That key actually requested can then be removed and a new one created: # keyctl unlink 249681132 1 links removed [root@andromeda ~]# grep req /proc/keys 116cecac IR---- 1 expd 0b010000 0 0 .request_ key:eeb4911 pid:4379 ci:1 36d1cbf8 I--Q-- 1 perm 1f3f0000 0 0 keyring _req.250300689: 1/4 which causes the old _req keyring to go away and a new one to take its place. This is a consequence of the changes in: commit 879669961b11e7f40b518784863a259f735a72bf Author: David Howells Date: Fri Jun 17 11:25:59 2011 +0100 KEYS/DNS: Fix ____call_usermodehelper() to not lose the session keyring and: commit 17f60a7da150fdd0cfb9756f86a262daa72c835f Author: Eric Paris Date: Fri Apr 1 17:07:50 2011 -0400 capabilites: allow the application of capability limits to usermode helpers After this patch is applied, the _req keyring and the .request_key key are cleaned up.
