[Bug 1257186] Re: memory leakage messages (no talloc stackframe)

[Ian Abbott]

I think this should be easy to fix if Canonical can find anyone to
assign the bug to. I managed to fix it locally by following the guide at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpdatingADeb to rebuild the samba
packages from source with the upstream patch applied. For the final
step, I used "sudo debi -u" instead of "sudo debi" to only upgrade the
existing packages instead of installing all of them.

Title:
  memory leakage messages (no talloc stackframe)

Status in Samba:
  Fix Released
Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in samba source package in Trusty:
  Confirmed
Status in samba package in Debian:

Bug description:
  This message appears a lot as of a recent update to samba (Trusty
  development branch):

  no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4831, leaking
  memory

  From this upstream bug report, I am lead to believe the issue is in
  libpam-smbpass, but I don't really know for sure.

  I am filing this bug report mainly so that I can refer to it on the
  testing tracker as an issue, while still setting the test case to
  pass. Note that other than the error message itself, I am not aware of
  any bad side effect.
