This is actually happens when you enter password and not because of apt-get update, e.g. I did the following and got the same error (sudo apt-get update also gives me that error when I'm asked to enter the password, but no error for the second time, when there is no password request already):
sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree
[sudo] password for ---------:
no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory
sudo: update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree: command not found

Here is additional info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2214042
also seems that helped me:
sudo apt-get purge samba
and
sudo apt-get remove libpam-smbpass

I see several kinds of memory leaks (one as reported above) right after installing 14.04 on T400 w.4GB RAM:

1. "top" shows 1.1GB at startup,
2. It grows to 1.2GB in 8 hours witthout any user activity
3. Starting Firefox with one page (Google) increases it to 1.4GB
4. After 1.5 hours without any activity usage grwos to 1.6GB
5. After sudo apt-get update/clean/upgrade grows to 3.1GB (!)
