Attached file leak stacks
I found this by running Firefox's Mochitest 5 under LeakSanitizer.

Andrew:

Thanks a lot for the bug report. If you can get the function
names of stack frames #4 - #7, that will help me track this
down.
Yeah, I don't know why those frames are missing.  Maybe with a newer version of Clang I'll get more useful information.
FWIW, the top few frames from Bug 1164364 comment 0 and from Attachment 8396633 [details] here look nearly the same. Maybe this was fixed by Bug 1164364?
Yeah, it could be.  To verify it, we'll have to wait until the NSS in Firefox is updated, then check the log for a LSan Mochitest-5 run.  There should be no mention of sec_asn1e_allocate_item or PORT_Strdup_Util under the various "Suppressions used" lists in the log.  Then we can remove those suppressions from lsan_suppressions.txt.
Depends on: 1164364
PK11_ChangePW calls the following functions:

PK11_GETTAB(slot)->C_SetPIN > NSC_SetPIN > sftkdb_ChangePassword

So I agree this is very likely the memory leak in sftkdb_ChangePassword
that was fixed in bug 1164364.

Andrew: the NSS in Firefox has been updated. Could you please check if we
can remove those suppressions from lsan_suppressions.txt now? Thanks.

The two suppressions listed for this bug are sec_asn1e_allocate_item and PORT_Strdup_Util. I don't see sec_asn1e_allocate_item in the log, but I do see 48 bytes for PORT_Strdup_Util. However, that's a pretty generic signature so I'm not sure if it is the same leak. It is also different than what I listed here in comment 0, so it is hard to say if that's the same thing or not.

I'll do a try push with both removed and see what happens:

Sorry for the delay.

This is what the leak looks like on try:

Direct leak of 48 byte(s) in 2 object(s) allocated from:
      #0 0x472131 in malloc /builds/slave/moz-toolchain/src/llvm/projects/compiler-rt/lib/asan/asan_malloc_linux.cc:74
      #1 0x7f70919b7f54 in PORT_Alloc_Util /builds/slave/try-l64-asan-00000000000000000/build/src/security/nss/lib/util/secport.c:86
      #2 0x7f70919b7f54 in PORT_Strdup_Util /builds/slave/try-l64-asan-00000000000000000/build/src/security/nss/lib/util/secport.c:149

Not very useful! But it does look different that the report in comment 0.
Andrew: thank you for the update. Is the stack in comment 8 the
complete stack, or is PK11_ChangePW in a higher frame of that
stack?
That's the complete stack, unfortunately. The LSan we run on try doesn't give very good stacks. I'll try to run M5 locally and see if it produces more useful information. (I suspect the stack in comment 0 is from a local run.)
Andrew: I just ran valgrind on the NSS command line tool "modutil".
I performed a change-password operation and verified that PK11_ChangePW
was called (see comment 1). But valgrind did not report any leak
in PK11_ChangePW or PORT_Strdup_Util.
When I run it locally, I do get a leak that involves PK11_ChangePW:

I'll try to figure out which test is calling ChangePassword from JS.
The leak appears to be caused by running the test toolkit/components/passwordmgr/test/test_master_password.html
This leak appears to be gone now. The suppression was removed in bug 1311584.
