Subject: unshare: fix nsproxy leak in ksys_unshare() on set_cred_ucounts() failure
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a98621a0f187a934c115dcfe79a49520ae892111;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

unshare: fix nsproxy leak in ksys_unshare() on set_cred_ucounts() failure

When set_cred_ucounts() fails in ksys_unshare() new_nsproxy is leaked.

Let's call put_nsproxy() if that happens.

Fixes: 905ae01c4ae2 ("Add a reference to ucounts for each cred")
