Bug Description
Ubuntu Release: 18.04.2 LTS
Package: libkrb5-3 1.16.2
The libkrb5-3 package (MIT Kerberos library) shipped with Ubuntu 18.04.2 has a known bug which can cause a program using the library to crash when using MEMORY ccaches. This was introduced as a regression in version 1.16.2 of the MIT kerberos library, and fixed in 1.16.3.
Regression ticket: https:/
Release notes for 1.16.3 (see "Fix a regression"): https:/
Can the libkrb5-3 package be updated to version 1.16.3 for the Ubuntu 18.04 release series? We have software (not part of Ubuntu) that uses MEMORY ccaches extensively and it is impacted by this bug.

Ubuntu 18.04 does not ship version 1.16.2 of krb5, it ships version 1.16. So why do you believe bionic is affected by this issue, or why do you believe the problem you are seeing on 18.04 is this issue?
