Title:
gnome-keyring-daemon leaks memory
Status in GNOME keyring services:
Fix Released
Status in “gnome-keyring” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “gnome-keyring” source package in Precise:

Bug description:
gnome-keyring-daemon gets killed here every few days due to it's
memory size exceeding the site imposed limit of 2GB per process. The
ulimit of course is not the problem as even with an unlimited setting,
it would just grow until it was killed by the OOM killer.
The real problem here is that gnome-keyring-daemon has no business
growing to even a fraction of the 2GB limit imposed here. 2G for a
simple keyring daemon is absurd.
Looking at the upstream changelog for versions beyond the 3.2.2 on
which the Ubuntu version is based appear to have fixed memory leaks.
Given that this leaking 3.2.2-2ubuntu4 version is in the Precise LTS
release, upgrading to a newer Ubuntu release is not a solution nor an
option -- this LTS release is supposed to be supported beyond 2017. A
fix needs to be backported. Having gnome-keyring-daemon leaking for 5
more years is simply unacceptable.
