From a27f3e06be07cd3719f8c42092de3ebfc9202923 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2012 21:03:50 +0200 Subject: cred: copy_process() should clear child->replacement_session_keyring commit 79549c6dfda0603dba9a70a53467ce62d9335c33 upstream. keyctl_session_to_parent(task) sets ->replacement_session_keyring, it should be processed and cleared by key_replace_session_keyring(). However, this task can fork before it notices TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME and the new child gets the bogus ->replacement_session_keyring copied by dup_task_struct(). This is obviously wrong and, if nothing else, this leads to put_cred(already_freed_cred). change copy_creds() to clear this member. If copy_process() fails before this point the wrong ->replacement_session_keyring doesn't matter, exit_creds() won't be called.
