keys: Fix UAF in key_put()
Once a key's reference count has been reduced to 0, the garbage collector thread may destroy it at any time and so key_put() is not allowed to touch the key after that point. The most key_put() is normally allowed to do is to touch key_gc_work as that's a static global variable. However, in an effort to speed up the reclamation of quota, this is now done in key_put() once the key's usage is reduced to 0 - but now the code is looking at the key after the deadline, which is forbidden. Fix this by using a flag to indicate that a key can be gc'd now rather than looking at the key's refcount in the garbage collector. Fixes: 9578e32 ("keys: update key quotas in key_put()") Reported-by: syzbot+6105ffc1ded71d194d6d@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/673b6aec.050a0220.87769.004a.GAE@google.com/ Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Tested-by: syzbot+6105ffc1ded71d194d6d@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Reviewed-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko@kernel.org>
