commit 1ac202e978e18f045006d75bd549612620c6ec3a upstream.

Modifying the attributes of a file makes ima_inode_post_setattr reset
the IMA cache flags. So if the file, which has just been created,
is opened a second time before the first file descriptor is closed,
verification fails since the security.ima xattr has not been written
yet. We therefore have to look at the IMA_NEW_FILE even if the file
already existed.

With this patch there should no longer be an error when cat tries to
open testfile:

$ rm -f testfile
$ ( echo test &gt;&amp;3 ; touch testfile ; cat testfile ) 3&gt;testfile

A file being new is no reason to accept that it is missing a digital
signature demanded by the policy.

<title>KEYS: fix keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring() to not leak thread keyrings</title>

commit c9f838d104fed6f2f61d68164712e3204bf5271b upstream.

This fixes CVE-2017-7472.

Running the following program as an unprivileged user exhausts kernel
memory by leaking thread keyrings:

	#include &lt;keyutils.h&gt;

	int main()
	{
		for (;;)
			keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring(KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_THREAD_KEYRING);
	}

Fix it by only creating a new thread keyring if there wasn't one before.
To make things more consistent, make install_thread_keyring_to_cred()
and install_process_keyring_to_cred() both return 0 if the corresponding
keyring is already present.

<title>KEYS: Change the name of the dead type to ".dead" to prevent user access</title>

commit c1644fe041ebaf6519f6809146a77c3ead9193af upstream.

This fixes CVE-2017-6951.

Userspace should not be able to do things with the "dead" key type as it
doesn't have some of the helper functions set upon it that the kernel
needs.  Attempting to use it may cause the kernel to crash.

Fix this by changing the name of the type to ".dead" so that it's rejected
up front on userspace syscalls by key_get_type_from_user().

Though this doesn't seem to affect recent kernels, it does affect older
ones, certainly those prior to:

<title>KEYS: Disallow keyrings beginning with '.' to be joined as session keyrings</title>

commit ee8f844e3c5a73b999edf733df1c529d6503ec2f upstream.

This fixes CVE-2016-9604.

Keyrings whose name begin with a '.' are special internal keyrings and so
userspace isn't allowed to create keyrings by this name to prevent
shadowing.  However, the patch that added the guard didn't fix
KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING.  Not only can that create dot-named keyrings,
it can also subscribe to them as a session keyring if they grant SEARCH
permission to the user.

This, for example, allows a root process to set .builtin_trusted_keys as
its session keyring, at which point it has full access because now the
possessor permissions are added.  This permits root to add extra public
keys, thereby bypassing module verification.

This also affects kexec and IMA.

This can be tested by (as root):

	keyctl session .builtin_trusted_keys
	keyctl add user a a @s
	keyctl list @s

which on my test box gives me:

	2 keys in keyring:
	180010936: ---lswrv     0     0 asymmetric: Build time autogenerated kernel key: ae3d4a31b82daa8e1a75b49dc2bba949fd992a05
	801382539: --alswrv     0     0 user: a


Fix this by rejecting names beginning with a '.' in the keyctl.

commit bc15ed663e7e53ee4dc3e60f8d09c93a0528c694 upstream.

On failure to return a pathname from ima_d_path(), a pointer to
dname is returned, which is subsequently used in the IMA measurement
list, the IMA audit records, and other audit logging.  Saving the
pointer to dname for later use has the potential to race with rename.

Intead of returning a pointer to dname on failure, this patch returns
a pointer to a copy of the filename.

commit 0c461cb727d146c9ef2d3e86214f498b78b7d125 upstream.

SELinux tries to support setting/clearing of /proc/pid/attr attributes
from the shell by ignoring terminating newlines and treating an
attribute value that begins with a NUL or newline as an attempt to
clear the attribute.  However, the test for clearing attributes has
always been wrong; it has an off-by-one error, and this could further
lead to reading past the end of the allocated buffer since commit
bb646cdb12e75d82258c2f2e7746d5952d3e321a ("proc_pid_attr_write():
switch to memdup_user()").  Fix the off-by-one error.

Even with this fix, setting and clearing /proc/pid/attr attributes
from the shell is not straightforward since the interface does not
support multiple write() calls (so shells that write the value and
newline separately will set and then immediately clear the attribute,
requiring use of echo -n to set the attribute), whereas trying to use
echo -n "" to clear the attribute causes the shell to skip the
write() call altogether since POSIX says that a zero-length write
causes no side effects. Thus, one must use echo -n to set and echo
without -n to clear, as in the following example:
$ echo -n unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 &gt; /proc/$$/attr/fscreate
$ cat /proc/$$/attr/fscreate
unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0
$ echo "" &gt; /proc/$$/attr/fscreate
$ cat /proc/$$/attr/fscreate

Note the use of /proc/$$ rather than /proc/self, as otherwise
the cat command will read its own attribute value, not that of the shell.

There are no users of this facility to my knowledge; possibly we
should just get rid of it.

UPDATE: Upon further investigation it appears that a local process
with the process:setfscreate permission can cause a kernel panic as a
result of this bug.  This patch fixes CVE-2017-2618.

commit 9a11a18902bc3b904353063763d06480620245a6 upstream.

When the "policy" securityfs file is opened for read, it is opened as a
sequential file. However, when it is eventually released, there is no
cleanup for the sequential file, therefore some memory is leaked.

This patch adds a call to seq_release() in ima_release_policy() to clean up
the memory when the file is opened for read.

After a policy replacement, the task cred may be out of date and need
to be updated. However change_hat is using the stale profiles from
the out of date cred resulting in either: a stale profile being applied
or, incorrect failure when searching for a hat profile as it has been
migrated to the new parent profile.

After a policy replacement, the task cred may be out of date and need
to be updated. However change_hat is using the stale profiles from
the out of date cred resulting in either: a stale profile being applied
or, incorrect failure when searching for a hat profile as it has been
migrated to the new parent profile.

Fixes: 01e2b670aa898a39259bc85c78e3d74820f4d3b6 (failure to find hat)
Fixes: 898127c34ec03291c86f4ff3856d79e9e18952bc (stale policy being applied)

Since BIG_KEYS can't be compiled as module it requires one of the "stdrng"
providers to be compiled into kernel. Otherwise big_key_crypto_init() fails
on crypto_alloc_rng step and next dereference of big_key_skcipher (e.g. in
big_key_preparse()) results in a NULL pointer dereference.

<title>KEYS: Sort out big_key initialisation</title>

big_key has two separate initialisation functions, one that registers the
key type and one that registers the crypto.  If the key type fails to
register, there's no problem if the crypto registers successfully because
there's no way to reach the crypto except through the key type.

However, if the key type registers successfully but the crypto does not,
big_key_rng and big_key_blkcipher may end up set to NULL - but the code
neither checks for this nor unregisters the big key key type.

Furthermore, since the key type is registered before the crypto, it is
theoretically possible for the kernel to try adding a big_key before the
crypto is set up, leading to the same effect.

Fix this by merging big_key_crypto_init() and big_key_init() and calling
the resulting function late.  If they're going to be encrypted, we
shouldn't be creating big_keys before we have the facilities to do the
encryption available.  The key type registration is also moved after the
crypto initialisation.

The fix also includes message printing on failure.

If the big_key type isn't correctly set up, simply doing:

	dd if=/dev/zero bs=4096 count=1 | keyctl padd big_key a @s

ought to cause an oops.
