Indeed, which is why I explained what process to follow to get the bug fixed in xenial-updates for 16.04 in comment 2. > 16.04 has a xenial-backport component, is it not possible to put a newer > version there instead of placing it in xenial-updates or xenial- > security? Sure, if somebody follows the process, prepares a suitable upload, and so forth. Somebody will also need to continue maintaining the backports package for security, assuming you care about that, since Canonical's security cover doesn't cover the backports pocket. But in any case this is a bug, so fixing it in xenial-updates would be preferable. > What dictates what is put where?

Did you read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates? We absolutely can update sssd in xenial-updates in 16.04 to fix this bug. Somebody just needs to figure out the appropriate fix and follow the process to get the fix landed. Right now, I note that only two people have reported themselves as affected and the bug has been open a year. We don't have specific steps to reproduce the problem, and no specific fix has been identified. So it seems to me rather difficult to tackle for someone who does not know how to reproduce the problem. But if someone affected can find the required development effort to fix this, Ubuntu will welcome that contribution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1676328 Title: sssd_be is leaking memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sssd/+bug/1676328/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
