Subject: [PATCH] KEYS: close race between key lookup and freeing
|
|
|
|
When a key is being garbage collected, it's key->user would get put before
|
|
the ->destroy() callback is called, where the key is removed from it's
|
|
respective tracking structures.
|
|
|
|
This leaves a key hanging in a semi-invalid state which leaves a window open
|
|
for a different task to try an access key->user. An example is
|
|
find_keyring_by_name() which would dereference key->user for a key that is
|
|
in the process of being garbage collected (where key->user was freed but
|
|
->destroy() wasn't called yet - so it's still present in the linked list).
|
|
|
|
This would cause either a panic, or corrupt memory.
