Subject: Re: WARNING: refcount bug in find_key_to_update
Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2019 14:17:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <24777.1571750256@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <11434.1571740533@warthog.procyon.org.uk>

Okay, I managed to catch a backtrace for this line:

	encrypted_key: key user:syz not found (-126)

looking like:

	CPU: 0 PID: 8878 Comm: syz-executor.0 Not tainted 5.4.0-rc3+ #0
	Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 01/01/2011
	Call Trace:
	 dump_stack+0x172/0x1f0
	 request_master_key.isra.0.cold+0x62/0xc3
	 encrypted_read+0x221/0x830
	 ? get_derived_key+0xf0/0xf0
	 ? keyctl_read_key+0x1c2/0x2b0
	 ? __kasan_check_write+0x14/0x20
	 ? down_read+0x109/0x430
	 ? security_key_permission+0x8d/0xc0
	 ? down_read_killable+0x490/0x490
	 ? key_task_permission+0x1b5/0x3a0
	 keyctl_read_key+0x231/0x2b0
	 __x64_sys_keyctl+0x171/0x470
	 do_syscall_64+0xfa/0x760
	entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xbe

So something somewhere is calling keyctl_read() in userspace on the encrypted
key and that is then referring across to the user key added.

Also, the encrypted key is being given the following payload:

	ENCRYPTED: 'new default user:syz 04096'

in at least one of the cases that encrypted_update() being called.
