keys: Avoid owner account dereferences in /proc/keys
The namespace filters in find_ge_key() and key_serial_next() read key->user->uid while traversing the serial tree under key_serial_lock. That lock keeps the key allocated, but it does not protect the separate key_user from ownership changes. A /proc/keys read reaches find_ge_key() through proc_keys_start(), and key_serial_next() through proc_keys_next(). The lock stays held until proc_keys_stop(). A successful privileged KEYCTL_CHOWN on the same key replaces key->user under key->sem and drops the old owner's reference after releasing the semaphore. If that was the old dynamic key_user's last reference, a /proc/keys reader can access freed memory: /proc/keys reader KEYCTL_CHOWN proc_keys_start() keyctl_chown_key() spin_lock(key_serial_lock) down_write(key->sem) find_ge_key() old = minkey->user zapowner = key->user key->user = newowner key->uid = uid up_write(key->sem) key_put(key) key_user_put(zapowner) kfree(zapowner) read old->uid -> use-after-free proc_keys_stop() spin_unlock(key_serial_lock) Use the inline key->uid in both filters, following the approach already used by find_keyring_by_name(). The serial-tree lock keeps the containing key alive, so filtering no longer depends on the quota owner's lifetime. This also uses the same owner UID as proc_keys_show() and the permission check. For thread keyrings, key_fsuid_changed() can update key->uid without changing the quota owner. The filters now follow that current owner UID, including when its namespace mapping differs from the quota owner's.
