[PATCH] Keys: Fix oops when adding key to non-keyring [CVE-2006-1522]

2006-04-11T04:48:21+00:00

This fixes the problem of an oops occuring when a user attempts to add a
key to a non-keyring key [CVE-2006-1522].

The problem is that __keyring_search_one() doesn't check that the
keyring it's been given is actually a keyring.

I've fixed this problem by:

 (1) declaring that caller of __keyring_search_one() must guarantee that
     the keyring is a keyring; and

 (2) making key_create_or_update() check that the keyring is a keyring,
     and return -ENOTDIR if it isn't.

This can be tested by:

	keyctl add user b b `keyctl add user a a @s`

memory more than 4G.  This patch fixes those.

[PATCH] knfsd: Correct reserved reply space for read requests.

2006-04-07T16:44:30+00:00

NFSd makes sure there is enough space to hold the maximum possible reply
before accepting a request.  The units for this maximum is (4byte) words.
However in three places, particularly for read request, the number given is
a number of bytes.

This means too much space is reserved which is slightly wasteful.

This is the sort of patch that could uncover a deeper bug, and it is not
critical, so it would be best for it to spend a while in -mm before going
in to mainline.

[PATCH] hostap: Fix EAPOL frame encryption

2006-04-07T16:44:30+00:00

Fixed encrypted of EAPOL frames from wlan#ap interface (hostapd). This
was broken when moving to use new frame control field defines in
net/ieee80211.h. hostapd uses Protected flag, not protocol version
(which was cleared in this function anyway). This fixes WPA group key
handshake and re-authentication.

[PATCH] AIRO{,_CS} <-> CRYPTO fixes

2006-04-07T16:44:30+00:00

CRYPTO is a helper variable, and to make it easier for users, it should
therefore select'ed and not be listed in the dependencies.

drivers/net/wireless/airo.c requires CONFIG_CRYPTO for compilations.

Therefore, AIRO_CS also has to select CRYPTO.
