Obtain more than 32 inputs that have similar hashes, which ends with the\n pattern '0xxxxxxxe6'.\n2. Reboot and add the keys obtained in step 1.\n\nThe reproducer demonstrates how this issue happened:\n1. In the search_nested_keyrings function, when it iterates through the\n slots in a node(below tag ascend_to_node), if the slot pointer is meta\n and node->back_pointer != NULL(it means a root), it will proceed to\n descend_to_node. However, there is an exception. If node is the root,\n and one of the slots points to a shortcut, it will be treated as a\n keyring.\n2. Whether the ptr is keyring decided by keyring_ptr_is_keyring function.\n However, KEYRING_PTR_SUBTYPE is 0x2UL, the same as\n ASSOC_ARRAY_PTR_SUBTYPE_MASK.\n3. When 32 keys with the similar hashes are added to the tree, the ROOT\n has keys with hashes that are not similar (e.g. slot 0) and it splits\n NODE A without using a shortcut. When NODE A is filled with keys that\n all hashes are xxe6, the keys are similar, NODE A will split with a\n shortcut. Finally, it forms the tree as shown below, where slot 6 points\n to a shortcut.\n\n NODE A\n +------>+---+\n ROOT | | 0 | xxe6\n +---+ | +---+\n xxxx | 0 | shortcut : : xxe6\n +---+ | +---+\n xxe6 : : | | | xxe6\n +---+ | +---+\n | 6 |---+ : : xxe6\n +---+ +---+\n xxe6 : : | f | xxe6\n +---+ +---+\n xxe6 | f |\n +---+\n\n4. As mentioned above, If a slot(slot 6) of the root points to a shortcut,\n it may be mistakenly transferred to a key*, leading to a read\n out-of-bounds read.\n\nTo fix this issue, one should jump to descend_to_node if the ptr is a\nshortcut, regardless of whether the node is root or not.\n\n[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/1cfa878e-8c7b-4570-8606-21daf5e13ce7@huaweicloud.com/\n\n[jarkko:
