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

[Bruce Pieterse]

I receive this message "no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparam.c:4831, leaking memory" if I run sudo for the first time in a new terminal.

Steps
1. Open Terminal
2. Type sudo <command>
3. Enter password
4. Command runs and outputs above message after successful verification
5. Close terminal. Repeat if necessary.

Still present with the latest sudo package update today (1.8.9p4-1ubuntu2)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Dave Gilbert (ubuntu-treblig)]

Are you using smb for authentication?

It looks like this is a dupe of 157186

[Javier López (javier-lopez)]

This bug may only affect a Desktop installation, I was unable to reproduce the problem with sudo (1.8.9p4-1ubuntu2) on a minimalist setup (without X)

Still present even in ubuntu server 14.04 night build on 2014-03-06

[Viktor Suprun (popsul1993)]

I've the same bug on 14.04 with latest updates.

[23W (pcnr)]

I have same error on server version of 14.04

[zob (zob)]

I get this error on ubuntu server 14.04 when I log in (without doing anything else). It's written just above the "Last Login.... Welcome to Ubuntu Trusty" - message.
Below the "Welcome message" there is another error written.
error: config file /etc/landscape/client.conf can't be read
run-parts: /etc/update-motd.d/50-landscape-sysinfo exited with return code 1.

(I didn't choose landscape to handle updates during the install).

Happens on two different machines. One is virtual, the other is not.

This duplicate bug (and its original) exist in Trusty Server ISO 2014-APR-02.

I'm getting this error upon each login, and periodically during my console sessions:

     no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory

I get this on a brand new Ubuntu 12.04 server install, so def. not only affecting installs with X

[Will Rouesnel (w-rouesnel)]

This is happening to me too. This really needs to be fixed as I had a server move into reporting very strange out of memory conditions for the kernel after a couple of weeks of uptime, and this is the only real outstanding issue.

Looks like the folks at Samba have address the bug and have it staged for the next release:
