+Subject: [PATCH] KEYS: close race between key lookup and freeing
+
+commit a3a8784454692dd72e5d5d34dcdab17b4420e74c upstream.
+
+When a key is being garbage collected, it's key->user would get put before
+the ->destroy() callback is called, where the key is removed from it's
+respective tracking structures.
+
+This leaves a key hanging in a semi-invalid state which leaves a window open
+for a different task to try an access key->user. An example is
+find_keyring_by_name() which would dereference key->user for a key that is
+in the process of being garbage collected (where key->user was freed but
+->destroy() wasn't called yet - so it's still present in the linked list).
+
+This would cause either a panic, or corrupt memory.
+
+Fixes CVE-2014-9529.
