KEYS: Fix bug in keyctl_session_to_parent() if parent has no session keyring
commit
3d96406c7da1ed5811ea52a3b0905f4f0e295376 upstream.
Fix a bug in keyctl_session_to_parent() whereby it tries to check the ownership
of the parent process's session keyring whether or not the parent has a session
keyring [CVE-2010-2960].
This results in the following oops:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
00000000000000a0
IP: [<
ffffffff811ae4dd>] keyctl_session_to_parent+0x251/0x443
...

if the parent process has no session keyring.
If the system is using pam_keyinit then it mostly protected against this as all
processes derived from a login will have inherited the session keyring created
by pam_keyinit during the log in procedure.
To test this, pam_keyinit calls need to be commented out in /etc/pam.d/.
