[PATCH 0/3] keys: fix keyring assoc-array out-of-bounds read and index inconsistency

keyring_get_key_chunk() advances the description read pointer by
level * sizeof(long) past the inline prefix but only bounds-checks the
prefix, so once the associative-array walk reaches a description-level
chunk it reads past the kmemdup(desc, desc_len + 1) description
allocation.  Reaching that depth needs two keys that collide through the
hash, x, type and domain_tag chunks, which an unprivileged add_key(2)
can arrange with a crafted pair of same-type keys.

An unprivileged user can thus read up to sizeof(long) bytes past a
keyring key's description; on kernels built without init-on-alloc the
same collision, read back with KEYCTL_READ, returns uninitialized kernel
slab.

Patch 1 is the memory-safety fix and stands alone.  Patches 2 and 3 fix
two index-key consistency bugs that let the crafted keys collide into a
single malformed node in the first place, which is what enables the
KEYCTL_READ disclosure.

The KASAN reproduction is on patch 1. Trigger is available off-list.

Michael Bommarito (3):
  keys: fix out-of-bounds read in keyring_get_key_chunk()
  keys: make keyring key-chunk byte order agree with
    keyring_diff_objects()
  assoc_array: trim the final shortcut word when skip_to_level is
    chunk-aligned
