A task that calls setns() with CLONE_NEWUSER together with CLONE_NEWNS
and at least one more namespace flag leaks a struct cred (and the
user_namespace, ucounts and group_info references it holds) whenever the
call fails at the fs_struct copy. On a kernel with CONFIG_USER_NS the
leak is one cred per failed setns(); under memory pressure, or driven by
a fault-injecting attacker, it accumulates and pins user namespaces that
can then never be freed.
prepare_nsset() sets nsset->flags only on the success path:
if (flags & CLONE_NEWUSER)
nsset->cred = prepare_creds();
...
} else if (flags & CLONE_NEWNS) {
nsset->fs = copy_fs_struct(me->fs);
if (!nsset->fs)
goto out; /* flags still 0 here */
}
nsset->flags = flags;
return 0;
out:
put_nsset(nsset);
put_nsset() decides what to release from nsset->flags:
if (flags & CLONE_NEWUSER)
put_cred(nsset_cred(nsset));
On the copy_fs_struct() failure arm prepare_creds() has already
allocated the cred, but nsset->flags is still the zero from the caller's
"struct nsset nsset = {}", so put_nsset() does not see CLONE_NEWUSER and
never drops it. The caller (__do_sys_setns) returns the error without
touching nsset, so the cred is lost.
Set nsset->flags at the start of prepare_nsset(), before anything can
fail, so every error exit through put_nsset() releases what was taken.
commit_nsset(), which clears nsset->cred on success, is unaffected.
Reproduced on x86_64 under QEMU with failslab aimed at the fs_struct
cache and kmemleak enabled: 500 calls of
setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS | CLONE_NEWUTS) each fail with
-ENOMEM and leave 851 unreferenced cred objects allocated from
prepare_creds() via setns() before the fix, and none after (the program
is in the notes below).
Found by formal verification of kernel/nsproxy.c.
Fixes: 303cc571d107 ("nsproxy: attach to namespaces via pidfds")

Notes:
The leak is reachable from userspace on a CONFIG_USER_NS kernel:
setns(pidfd, CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS | CLONE_NEWUTS) where
copy_fs_struct() returns NULL. copy_fs_struct() allocates from fs_cachep
("fs_cache"), so CONFIG_FAILSLAB with that cache's per-slab failslab knob
forces the error arm deterministically; otherwise it needs real memory
pressure. The leaked object is the cred from prepare_creds() and the
user_namespace, ucounts and group_info references it holds; CONFIG_USER_NS
LSM blobs hung off that cred (security_prepare_creds) leak with it.
Reproduced under QEMU (x86_64 defconfig + CONFIG_USER_NS, CONFIG_FAILSLAB,
CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_DEBUG_FS, CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG, CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK;
booted with slab_nomerge so fs_cache keeps refcount 1 for the per-cache
knob). A task marks fs_cache for failslab, marks itself (make-it-fail), and
calls setns() 500 times; every call returns -ENOMEM. On 70dd4ee72eb2 the
"cred" slab grows (active 120 -> 660) and kmemleak reports the leaked creds:
unreferenced object 0xff4bc4614195c000 (size 184):
comm "test", ...
