David Howells 756f4d2ee8 keys: Fix request_key() cache
commit 8379bb84be757d5df2d818509faec5d66adb861d upstream.

When the key cached by request_key() and co.  is cleaned up on exit(),
the code looks in the wrong task_struct, and so clears the wrong cache.
This leads to anomalies in key refcounting when doing, say, a kernel
build on an afs volume, that then trigger kasan to report a
use-after-free when the key is viewed in /proc/keys.

Fix this by making exit_creds() look in the passed-in task_struct rather
than in current (the task_struct cleanup code is deferred by RCU and
potentially run in another task).

Fixes: 7743c48e54 ("keys: Cache result of request_key*() temporarily in task_struct")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
