Thank you for your bug report, according to the upstream discussion the issue was create by that commit
https://github.com/samba-team/samba/commit/bd9285b1 and looks like a good candidate for a bionic SRU, it shouldn't apply/be an issue on trusty though which has 4.1/4.3 samba series

Title:
Big samba memory leak fixed upstream
Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
There is a big memory leak bug in Samba 4.1 - 4.7.6. Depending on the
circumstances all memory of the Ubuntu server will be eaten by Samba
sooner or later. Then Linux Oom - killer will kill Samba which will
either restart or hang.
On our Ubuntu Server 14.04.5 I need to restart Samba 1 - 2 times a
week. This bug probably affects also Ubuntu 18.04 if this fix has not
yet been backported.
This bug has been fixed upstream in Samba 4.7.7. The fix is only two
lines of code and the bug is caused by a single misplaced "if" when
releasing memory.
This upstream commit fixes the bug: https://gitlab.com/samba-
team/samba/commit/461a1172ff819692aa0a2dc5ce7fc5379c8a529e

And here the author apologizes for the bug :)

Please backport this fix to Ubuntu 14.04 and 18.04, thanks :)
