[PATCH 3.16 176/204] KEYS: fix NULL pointer dereference during ASN.1 parsing [ver #2]

From: Ben Hutchings

3.16.52-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 624f5ab8720b3371367327a822c267699c1823b8 upstream.

syzkaller reported a NULL pointer dereference in asn1_ber_decoder(). It
can be reproduced by the following command, assuming
CONFIG_PKCS7_TEST_KEY=y:

keyctl add pkcs7_test desc '' @s

The bug is that if the data buffer is empty, an integer underflow occurs
in the following check:

if (unlikely(dp >= datalen - 1))
goto data_overrun_error;

This results in the NULL data pointer being dereferenced.

Fix it by checking for 'datalen - dp < 2' instead.

Also fix the similar check for 'dp >= datalen - n' later in the same
function. That one possibly could result in a buffer overread.

The NULL pointer dereference was reproducible using the "pkcs7_test" key
type but not the "asymmetric" key type because the "asymmetric" key type
checks for a 0-length payload before calling into the ASN.1 decoder but
the "pkcs7_test" key type does not.

The bug report was:
