+Subject: [PATCH] KEYS: Fix keyring ref leak in join_session_keyring()
+
+This fixes CVE-2016-0728.
+
+If a thread is asked to join as a session keyring the keyring that's already
+set as its session, we leak a keyring reference.
+
+This can be tested with the following program:
+
+ #include <stddef.h>
+ #include <stdio.h>
+ #include <sys/types.h>
+ #include <keyutils.h>
+
+ int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
+ {
+ int i = 0;
+ key_serial_t serial;
+
+ serial = keyctl(KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING,
+ "leaked-keyring");
+ if (serial < 0) {
+ perror("keyctl");
+ return -1;
+ }
+
+ if (keyctl(KEYCTL_SETPERM, serial,
+ KEY_POS_ALL | KEY_USR_ALL) < 0) {
+ perror("keyctl");
+ return -1;
+ }
+
+ for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
+ serial = keyctl(KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING,
+ "leaked-keyring");
+ if (serial < 0) {
+ perror("keyctl");
+ return -1;
+ }
+ }
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+If, after the program has run, there something like the following line in
+/proc/keys:
+
+3f3d898f I--Q--- 100 perm 3f3f0000 0 0 keyring leaked-keyring: empty
+
+with a usage count of 100 * the number of times the program has been run,
+then the kernel is malfunctioning. If leaked-keyring has zero usages or
+has been garbage collected, then the problem is fixed.
