[PATCH 3.18 09/24] KEYS: fix writing past end of user-supplied buffer in keyring_read()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Oct 03 2017 - 09:19:43 EST


3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e645016abc803dafc75e4b8f6e4118f088900ffb upstream.

Userspace can call keyctl_read() on a keyring to get the list of IDs of
keys in the keyring. But if the user-supplied buffer is too small, the
kernel would write the full list anyway --- which will corrupt whatever
userspace memory happened to be past the end of the buffer. Fix it by
only filling the space that is available.
