[PATCH 3.16 074/254] X.509: reject invalid BIT STRING for subjectPublicKey

[Ben Hutchings]

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

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

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0f30cbea005bd3077bd98cd29277d7fc2699c1da upstream.

Adding a specially crafted X.509 certificate whose subjectPublicKey
ASN.1 value is zero-length caused x509_extract_key_data() to set the
public key size to SIZE_MAX, as it subtracted the nonexistent BIT STRING
metadata byte.  Then, x509_cert_parse() called kmemdup() with that bogus
size, triggering the WARN_ON_ONCE() in kmalloc_slab().

This appears to be harmless, but it still must be fixed since WARNs are
never supposed to be user-triggerable.

Fix it by updating x509_cert_parse() to validate that the value has a
BIT STRING metadata byte, and that the byte is 0 which indicates that
the number of bits in the bitstring is a multiple of 8.

It would be nice to handle the metadata byte in asn1_ber_decoder()
instead.  But that would be tricky because in the general case a BIT
STRING could be implicitly tagged, and/or could legitimately have a
length that is not a whole number of bytes.

Here was the WARN (cleaned up slightly):
