Adding a specially crafted X.509 certificate whose subjectPublicKey ASN.1 value is zero-length caused x509_extract_key_data() to set the public key size to SIZE_MAX, as it subtracted the nonexistent BIT STRING metadata byte. Then, x509_cert_parse() called kmemdup() with that bogus size, triggering the WARN_ON_ONCE() in kmalloc_slab().
This appears to be harmless, but it still must be fixed since WARNs are never supposed to be user-triggerable.
Fix it by updating x509_cert_parse() to validate that the value has a BIT STRING metadata byte, and that the byte is 0 which indicates that the number of bits in the bitstring is a multiple of 8.
It would be nice to handle the metadata byte in asn1_ber_decoder() instead. But that would be tricky because in the general case a BIT STRING could be implicitly tagged, and/or could legitimately have a length that is not a whole number of bytes.
Here was the WARN (cleaned up slightly):
