[Bug 1893924] Re: memory leak in GnuTLS iov operations used by Samba

[Andrew Bartlett]

Sure, but as upstream we otherwise need to warn Samba users not to
deploy current versions onto Ubuntu 20.20, so it would be awesome if
this could be fixed.

Both Samba 4.12 and 4.13 (due to be released next week) are impacted.
