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

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
