If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Eric Biggers commit 7fc0786d956d9e59b68d282be9b156179846ea3d upstream. In keyctl_read_key(), if key_permission() were to return an error code other than EACCES, we would leak a the reference to the key. This can't actually happen currently because key_permission() can only return an error code other than EACCES if security_key_permission() does, only SELinux and Smack implement that hook, and neither can return an error code other than EACCES. But it should still be fixed, as it is a bug waiting to happen.
