2013-11-06KEYS: Fix UID check in keyctl_get_persistent()David Howells
If the UID is specified by userspace when calling the KEYCTL_GET_PERSISTENT function and the process does not have the CAP_SETUID capability, then the function will return -EPERM if the current process's uid, suid, euid and fsuid all match the requested UID. This is incorrect. Fix it such that when a non-privileged caller requests a persistent keyring by a specific UID they can only request their own (ie. the specified UID matches either then process's UID or the process's EUID). This can be tested by logging in as the user and doing: keyctl get_persistent @p keyctl get_persistent @p `id -u` keyctl get_persistent @p 0 The first two should successfully print the same key ID. The third should do the same if called by UID 0 or indicate Operation Not Permitted otherwise. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Stephen Gallagher <sgallagh@redhat.com>
2013-09-24KEYS: Add per-user_namespace registers for persistent per-UID kerberos cachesDavid Howells
Add support for per-user_namespace registers of persistent per-UID kerberos caches held within the kernel. This allows the kerberos cache to be retained beyond the life of all a user's processes so that the user's cron jobs can work. The kerberos cache is envisioned as a keyring/key tree looking something like: struct user_namespace \___ .krb_cache keyring - The register \___ _krb.0 keyring - Root's Kerberos cache \___ _krb.5000 keyring - User 5000's Kerberos cache \___ _krb.5001 keyring - User 5001's Kerberos cache \___ tkt785 big_key - A ccache blob \___ tkt12345 big_key - Another ccache blob Or possibly: struct user_namespace \___ .krb_cache keyring - The register \___ _krb.0 keyring - Root's Kerberos cache \___ _krb.5000 keyring - User 5000's Kerberos cache \___ _krb.5001 keyring - User 5001's Kerberos cache \___ tkt785 keyring - A ccache \___ krbtgt/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM big_key \___ http/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM user \___ afs/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM user \___ nfs/REDHAT.COM@REDHAT.COM user \___ krbtgt/KERNEL.ORG@KERNEL.ORG big_key \___ http/KERNEL.ORG@KERNEL.ORG big_key What goes into a particular Kerberos cache is entirely up to userspace. Kernel support is limited to giving you the Kerberos cache keyring that you want. The user asks for their Kerberos cache by: krb_cache = keyctl_get_krbcache(uid, dest_keyring); The uid is -1 or the user's own UID for the user's own cache or the uid of some other user's cache (requires CAP_SETUID). This permits rpc.gssd or whatever to mess with the cache. The cache returned is a keyring named "_krb.<uid>" that the possessor can read, search, clear, invalidate, unlink from and add links to. Active LSMs get a chance to rule on whether the caller is permitted to make a link. Each uid's cache keyring is created when it first accessed and is given a timeout that is extended each time this function is called so that the keyring goes away after a while. The timeout is configurable by sysctl but defaults to three days. Each user_namespace struct gets a lazily-created keyring that serves as the register. The cache keyrings are added to it. This means that standard key search and garbage collection facilities are available. The user_namespace struct's register goes away when it does and anything left in it is then automatically gc'd.
