KEYS: trusted: fix writing past end of buffer in trusted_read()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit a3c812f7cfd80cf51e8f5b7034f7418f6beb56c1 upstream.

When calling keyctl_read() on a key of type "trusted", if the
user-supplied buffer was too small, the kernel ignored the buffer length
and just wrote past the end of the buffer, potentially corrupting
userspace memory.  Fix it by instead returning the size required, as per
the documentation for keyctl_read().

We also don't even fill the buffer at all in this case, as this is
slightly easier to implement than doing a short read, and either
behavior appears to be permitted.  It also makes it match the behavior
of the "encrypted" key type.

Fixes: d00a1c7 ("keys: add new trusted key-type")
