KEYS: Fix race between key destruction and finding a keyring by name
There appears to be a race between: (1) key_gc_unused_keys() which frees key->security and then calls keyring_destroy() to unlink the name from the name list (2) find_keyring_by_name() which calls key_permission(), thus accessing key->security, on a key before checking to see whether the key usage is 0 (ie. the key is dead and might be cleaned up). Fix this by calling ->destroy() before cleaning up the core key data - including key->security. Reported-by: Petr Matousek <pmatouse@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
