[PATCH v2 0/2] ima: Fix keyrings race condition and other key related bugs

From: Tyler Hicks
Date: Tue Aug 11 2020 - 15:26:41 EST


v2:
- Always return an ERR_PTR from ima_alloc_rule_opt_list() (Nayna)
- Add Lakshmi's Reviewed-by to both patches
- Rebased on commit 3db0d0c276a7 ("integrity: remove redundant
initialization of variable ret") of next-integrity
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200727140831.64251-1-tyhicks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

Nayna pointed out that the "keyrings=" option in an IMA policy rule
should only be accepted when CONFIG_IMA_MEASURE_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS is
enabled:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/336cc947-1f70-0286-6506-6df3d1d23a1d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

While fixing this, the compiler warned me about the potential for the
ima_keyrings pointer to be NULL despite it being used, without a check
for NULL, as the destination address for the strcpy() in
ima_match_keyring().

It also became apparent that there was not adequate locking around the
use of the pre-allocated buffer that ima_keyrings points to. The kernel
keyring has a lock (.sem member of struct key) that ensures only one key
can be added to a given keyring at a time but there's no protection
against adding multiple keys to different keyrings at the same time.

The first patch in this series fixes both ima_keyrings related issues by
parsing the list of keyrings in a KEY_CHECK rule at policy load time
rather than deferring the parsing to policy check time. Once that fix is
in place, the second patch can enforce that
CONFIG_IMA_MEASURE_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS must be enabled in order to use
"func=KEY_CHECK" or "keyrings=" options in IMA policy.

The new "keyrings=" value handling is done in a generic manner that can
be reused by other options in the future. This seems to make sense as
"appraise_type=" has similar style (though it doesn't need to be fully
parsed at this time) and using "|" as an alternation delimiter is
becoming the norm in IMA policy.

This series is based on commit 311aa6aafea4 ("ima: move
APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM dependency on ARCH_POLICY to runtime") in
next-integrity.
