From: Eric Biggers ebiggers@google.com
commit 4b34968e77ad09628cfb3c4a7daf2adc2cefc6e8 upstream.
The asymmetric key type allows an X.509 certificate to be added even if its signature's hash algorithm is not available in the crypto API. In that case 'payload.data[asym_auth]' will be NULL. But the key restriction code failed to check for this case before trying to use the signature, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference in key_or_keyring_common() or in restrict_link_by_signature().
Fix this by returning -ENOPKG when the signature is unsupported.
Reproducer when all the CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA512* options are disabled and keyctl has support for the 'restrict_keyring' command:
keyctl new_session keyctl restrict_keyring @s asymmetric builtin_trusted openssl req -new -sha512 -x509 -batch -nodes -outform der \ | keyctl padd asymmetric desc @s
