      KEYS: Add invalidation support · fd75815f
      David Howells 提交于
      Add support for invalidating a key - which renders it immediately invisible to
      further searches and causes the garbage collector to immediately wake up,
      remove it from keyrings and then destroy it when it's no longer referenced.
      
      It's better not to do this with keyctl_revoke() as that marks the key to start
      returning -EKEYREVOKED to searches when what is actually desired is to have the
      key refetched.
      
      To invalidate a key the caller must be granted SEARCH permission by the key.
      This may be too strict.  It may be better to also permit invalidation if the
      caller has any of READ, WRITE or SETATTR permission.
      
      The primary use for this is to evict keys that are cached in special keyrings,
      such as the DNS resolver or an ID mapper.

      KEYS: Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring on its parent [try #6] · ee18d64c
      David Howells 提交于
      Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent.  This
      replaces the parent's session keyring.  Because the COW credential code does
      not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the
      change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again.  Normally this
      will be after a wait*() syscall.
      
      To support this, three new security hooks have been provided:
      cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in
      the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if
      the process may replace its parent's session keyring.
      
      The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details
      as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and
      the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it.
      
      Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path.
      This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of
      which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.  This allows the
      replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace
      execution.
      
      This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and
      the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to
      alter the parent process's PAG membership.  However, since kAFS doesn't use
      PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session
      keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed
      the newpag flag.
      
      This can be tested with the following program:
      
      	#include <stdio.h>
      	#include <stdlib.h>
      	#include <keyutils.h>
      
      	#define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT	18
      
      	#define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0)
      
      	int main(int argc, char **argv)
      	{
      		key_serial_t keyring, key;
      		long ret;
      
      		keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]);
      		OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring");
      
      		key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring);
      		OSERROR(key, "add_key");
      
      		ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT);
      		OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT");
      
      		return 0;
      	}
      
      Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like:
      
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
      	Session Keyring
      	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
      	355907932 --alswrv   4043    -1   \_ keyring: _uid.4043
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
      	Session Keyring
      	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
      	1055658746 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag hello
      	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
      	Session Keyring
      	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: hello
      	340417692 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a
      
      Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named
      'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

      KEYS: Alter use of key instantiation link-to-keyring argument · 8bbf4976
      David Howells 提交于
      Alter the use of the key instantiation and negation functions' link-to-keyring
      arguments.  Currently this specifies a keyring in the target process to link
      the key into, creating the keyring if it doesn't exist.  This, however, can be
      a problem for copy-on-write credentials as it means that the instantiating
      process can alter the credentials of the requesting process.
      
      This patch alters the behaviour such that:
      
       (1) If keyctl_instantiate_key() or keyctl_negate_key() are given a specific
           keyring by ID (ringid >= 0), then that keyring will be used.
      
       (2) If keyctl_instantiate_key() or keyctl_negate_key() are given one of the
           special constants that refer to the requesting process's keyrings
           (KEY_SPEC_*_KEYRING, all <= 0), then:
      
           (a) If sys_request_key() was given a keyring to use (destringid) then the
           	 key will be attached to that keyring.
      
           (b) If sys_request_key() was given a NULL keyring, then the key being
           	 instantiated will be attached to the default keyring as set by
           	 keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring().
      
       (3) No extra link will be made.
      
      Decision point (1) follows current behaviour, and allows those instantiators
      who've searched for a specifically named keyring in the requestor's keyring so
      as to partition the keys by type to still have their named keyrings.
      
      Decision point (2) allows the requestor to make sure that the key or keys that
      get produced by request_key() go where they want, whilst allowing the
      instantiator to request that the key is retained.  This is mainly useful for
      situations where the instantiator makes a secondary request, the key for which
      should be retained by the initial requestor:
      
      	+-----------+        +--------------+        +--------------+
      	|           |        |              |        |              |
      	| Requestor |------->| Instantiator |------->| Instantiator |
      	|           |        |              |        |              |
      	+-----------+        +--------------+        +--------------+
      	           request_key()           request_key()
      
      This might be useful, for example, in Kerberos, where the requestor requests a
      ticket, and then the ticket instantiator requests the TGT, which someone else
      then has to go and fetch.  The TGT, however, should be retained in the
      keyrings of the requestor, not the first instantiator.  To make this explict
      an extra special keyring constant is also added.

      keys: add keyctl function to get a security label · 70a5bb72
      David Howells 提交于
      Add a keyctl() function to get the security label of a key.
      
      The following is added to Documentation/keys.txt:
      
       (*) Get the LSM security context attached to a key.
      
      	long keyctl(KEYCTL_GET_SECURITY, key_serial_t key, char *buffer,
      		    size_t buflen)
      
           This function returns a string that represents the LSM security context
           attached to a key in the buffer provided.
      
           Unless there's an error, it always returns the amount of data it could
           produce, even if that's too big for the buffer, but it won't copy more
           than requested to userspace. If the buffer pointer is NULL then no copy
           will take place.
      
           A NUL character is included at the end of the string if the buffer is
           sufficiently big.  This is included in the returned count.  If no LSM is
           in force then an empty string will be returned.
      
           A process must have view permission on the key for this function to be
           successful.

      [PATCH] keys: Permit running process to instantiate keys · b5f545c8
      David Howells 提交于
      Make it possible for a running process (such as gssapid) to be able to
      instantiate a key, as was requested by Trond Myklebust for NFS4.
      
      The patch makes the following changes:
      
       (1) A new, optional key type method has been added. This permits a key type
           to intercept requests at the point /sbin/request-key is about to be
           spawned and do something else with them - passing them over the
           rpc_pipefs files or netlink sockets for instance.
      
           The uninstantiated key, the authorisation key and the intended operation
           name are passed to the method.
      
       (2) The callout_info is no longer passed as an argument to /sbin/request-key
           to prevent unauthorised viewing of this data using ps or by looking in
           /proc/pid/cmdline.
      
           This means that the old /sbin/request-key program will not work with the
           patched kernel as it will expect to see an extra argument that is no
           longer there.
      
           A revised keyutils package will be made available tomorrow.
      
       (3) The callout_info is now attached to the authorisation key. Reading this
           key will retrieve the information.
      
       (4) A new field has been added to the task_struct. This holds the
           authorisation key currently active for a thread. Searches now look here
           for the caller's set of keys rather than looking for an auth key in the
           lowest level of the session keyring.
      
           This permits a thread to be servicing multiple requests at once and to
           switch between them. Note that this is per-thread, not per-process, and
           so is usable in multithreaded programs.
      
           The setting of this field is inherited across fork and exec.
      
       (5) A new keyctl function (KEYCTL_ASSUME_AUTHORITY) has been added that
           permits a thread to assume the authority to deal with an uninstantiated
           key. Assumption is only permitted if the authorisation key associated
           with the uninstantiated key is somewhere in the thread's keyrings.
      
           This function can also clear the assumption.
      
       (6) A new magic key specifier has been added to refer to the currently
           assumed authorisation key (KEY_SPEC_REQKEY_AUTH_KEY).
      
       (7) Instantiation will only proceed if the appropriate authorisation key is
           assumed first. The assumed authorisation key is discarded if
           instantiation is successful.
      
       (8) key_validate() is moved from the file of request_key functions to the
           file of permissions functions.
      
       (9) The documentation is updated.

      [PATCH] Keys: Make request-key create an authorisation key · 3e30148c
      David Howells 提交于
      The attached patch makes the following changes:
      
       (1) There's a new special key type called ".request_key_auth".
      
           This is an authorisation key for when one process requests a key and
           another process is started to construct it. This type of key cannot be
           created by the user; nor can it be requested by kernel services.
      
           Authorisation keys hold two references:
      
           (a) Each refers to a key being constructed. When the key being
           	 constructed is instantiated the authorisation key is revoked,
           	 rendering it of no further use.
      
           (b) The "authorising process". This is either:
      
           	 (i) the process that called request_key(), or:
      
           	 (ii) if the process that called request_key() itself had an
           	      authorisation key in its session keyring, then the authorising
           	      process referred to by that authorisation key will also be
           	      referred to by the new authorisation key.
      
      	 This means that the process that initiated a chain of key requests
      	 will authorise the lot of them, and will, by default, wind up with
      	 the keys obtained from them in its keyrings.
      
       (2) request_key() creates an authorisation key which is then passed to
           /sbin/request-key in as part of a new session keyring.
      
       (3) When request_key() is searching for a key to hand back to the caller, if
           it comes across an authorisation key in the session keyring of the
           calling process, it will also search the keyrings of the process
           specified therein and it will use the specified process's credentials
           (fsuid, fsgid, groups) to do that rather than the calling process's
           credentials.
      
           This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to find keys belonging
           to the authorising process.
      
       (4) A key can be read, even if the process executing KEYCTL_READ doesn't have
           direct read or search permission if that key is contained within the
           keyrings of a process specified by an authorisation key found within the
           calling process's session keyring, and is searchable using the
           credentials of the authorising process.
      
           This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to read keys belonging
           to the authorising process.
      
       (5) The magic KEY_SPEC_*_KEYRING key IDs when passed to KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE or
           KEYCTL_NEGATE will specify a keyring of the authorising process, rather
           than the process doing the instantiation.
      
       (6) One of the process keyrings can be nominated as the default to which
           request_key() should attach new keys if not otherwise specified. This is
           done with KEYCTL_SET_REQKEY_KEYRING and one of the KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_*
           constants. The current setting can also be read using this call.
      
       (7) request_key() is partially interruptible. If it is waiting for another
           process to finish constructing a key, it can be interrupted. This permits
           a request-key cycle to be broken without recourse to rebooting.
