Kernel Version: 4.18.5

Problem Description:

search_binary_handler() should be called after setting bprm using prepare_binprm(),
and in prepare_binprm(), there’s a LSM hook security_bprm_set_creds(), 
which can make a decision that binfmt cares.

We found a leaking path In fs/binfmt_misc.c:235, that don’t ask LSM’s decision.

Do you mean the MISC_FMT_CREDENTIALS case? That looks intentional to me, 
as noted in the comment there, and as per 
Documentation/admin-guide/binfmt-misc.rst's discussion of the 
credentials flag.
