crypto: asymmetric_keys/x509 - copy X.509 TBS for data signature algorithms
For signature algorithms operating on a message rather than a digest, x509_get_sig_params() points sig->m directly into cert->tbs. cert->tbs is the preparsed add_key() payload. The syscall wipes and frees it on return, while the instantiated key retains public_key_signature. A later KEYCTL_LINK into an asymmetric restricted keyring therefore passes a dangling message pointer to ML-DSA. KASAN reports a slab-use-after-free in mldsa_verify(), with allocation and free provenance both leading to __do_sys_add_key(). Reuse is also an integrity issue: bytes occupying the freed object become the authenticated message instead of the certificate's own TBSCertificate. Give the signature object its own copy of the TBS, as is already done for a precomputed digest, and release it through the existing m_free contract. Fixes: f3eccecd782d ("pkcs7: Allow the signing algo to do whatever digestion it wants itself") Signed-off-by: Jérémy Jean <Jeremy.Jean@oss.cyber.gouv.fr> Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5 Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
