KEYS: keyctl_get_keyring_ID() should create a session keyring if create flag set
The keyctl call: keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, 1) should create a session keyring if the process doesn't have one of its own because the create flag argument is set - rather than subscribing to and returning the user-session keyring as: keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, 0) will do. This can be tested by commenting out pam_keyinit in the /etc/pam.d files and running the following program a couple of times in a row: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <keyutils.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { key_serial_t uk, usk, sk, nsk; uk = keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_USER_KEYRING, 0); usk = keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_USER_SESSION_KEYRING, 0); sk = keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, 0); nsk = keyctl_get_keyring_ID(KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, 1); printf("keys: %08x %08x %08x %08x\n", uk, usk, sk, nsk); return 0; } Without this patch, I see: keys: 3975ddc7 119c0c66 119c0c66 119c0c66 keys: 3975ddc7 119c0c66 119c0c66 119c0c66 With this patch, I see: keys: 2cb4997b 34112878 34112878 17db2ce3 keys: 2cb4997b 34112878 34112878 39f3c73e As can be seen, the session keyring starts off the same as the user-session keyring each time, but with the patch a new session keyring is created when the create flag is set.
