Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

keys: Fix linking a duplicate key to a keyring's assoc_array

When making a DNS query inside the kernel using dns_query(), the request code can in rare cases end up creating a duplicate index key in the assoc_array of the destination keyring. It is eventually found by a BUG_ON() check in the assoc_array implementation and results in a crash.

The situation occurs as follows: * Some kernel facility invokes dns_query() to resolve a hostname, for example, "abcdef". The function registers its global DNS resolver cache as current->cred.thread_keyring and passes the query to request_key_net() -> request_key_tag() -> request_key_and_link(). * Function request_key_and_link() creates a keyring_search_context object. Its match_data.cmp method gets set via a call to type->match_preparse() (resolves to dns_resolver_match_preparse()) to dns_resolver_cmp(). * Function request_key_and_link() continues and invokes search_process_keyrings_rcu() which returns that a given key was not found. The control is then passed to request_key_and_link() -> construct_alloc_key(). * Concurrently to that, a second task similarly makes a DNS query for "abcdef." and its result gets inserted into the DNS resolver cache. * Back on the first task, function construct_alloc_key() first runs __key_link_begin() to determine an assoc_array_edit operation to insert a new key. Index keys in the array are compared exactly as-is, using keyring_compare_object(). The operation ---truncated---

Its match_data.cmp method gets set via a call to\n  type-\u003ematch_preparse() (resolves to dns_resolver_match_preparse()) to\n  dns_resolver_cmp().\n* Function request_key_and_link() continues and invokes\n  search_process_keyrings_rcu() which returns that a given key was not\n  found. The control is then passed to request_key_and_link() -\u003e\n  construct_alloc_key().\n* Concurrently to that, a second task similarly makes a DNS query for\n  \"abcdef.\" and its result gets inserted into the DNS resolver cache.\n* Back on the first task, function construct_alloc_key() first runs\n  __key_link_begin() to determine an assoc_array_edit operation to\n  insert a new key.
