KEYS: Make the keyring cycle detector ignore other keyrings of the same name
This fixes CVE-2014-0102. The following command sequence produces an oops: keyctl new_session i=`keyctl newring _ses @s` keyctl link @s $i The problem is that search_nested_keyrings() sees two keyrings that have matching type and description, so keyring_compare_object() returns true. s_n_k() then passes the key to the iterator function - keyring_detect_cycle_iterator() - which *should* check to see whether this is the keyring of interest, not just one with the same name. Because assoc_array_find() will return one and only one match, I assumed that the iterator function would only see an exact match or never be called - but the iterator isn't only called from assoc_array_find()... The oops looks something like this: kernel BUG at /data/fs/linux-2.6-fscache/security/keys/keyring.c:1003! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP ... RIP: keyring_detect_cycle_iterator+0xe/0x1f ... Call Trace: search_nested_keyrings+0x76/0x2aa ...
