Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  KEYS: Fix add_key() race with keyring restriction  __key_create_or_update() snapshots keyring->restrict_link before taking the destination keyring's semaphore.  keyring_restrict() installs a restriction while holding that semaphore.  This allows a writer to observe no restriction, wait for the keyring owner to install a reject-all restriction and return successfully, and then link a key using the stale NULL snapshot.  The writer only needs write permission on the destination keyring.  Move the restrict_link read after __key_link_lock() and __key_link_begin().  The read and the subsequent restriction check are then serialized with restriction installation by keyring->sem.  The race was reproduced on v7.2.8 in 19 executions where restriction installation returned before the link completed.  All 19 linked the key despite the reject-all restriction.  With this change, 312 executions reached the same ordering and every add_key() call failed with -EPERM.  The issue was found by manual concurrency analysis assisted by AI-based analysis and independently verified with a QEMU reproducer and kernel instrumentation.
