As noted in samba upstream bug #12505, the embedded copy of heimdal in samba is outdated, at least in respect to the krb5_storage_free function and this seems to cause some crashes in samba at times. There are probably other bugs in samba's copy of heimdal that were fixed in heimdal upstream. https://git.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=blob;f=source4/heimdal/lib/krb5/store.c;hb=HEAD#l270 https://github.com/heimdal/heimdal/blob/master/lib/krb5/store.c#L289 https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11824 https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12505 https://www.spinics.net/lists/samba/msg133243.html I asked samba upstream last year to either remove or update the embedded code copy but there was no response to my bug report. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12976 Until samba upstream reaches a decision on this, I think that Debian should patch samba so that our builds use the system version of heimdal instead of the outdated embedded code copy.
