I can reproduce this crash with the instructions from the samba upstream bug:

  1. Define a share without `force group=...` in the smb.conf.
  2. Connect to the share by an SMB client.
  3. Add `force group=...` to the share definition in the smb.conf.
  4. Run `smbcontrol all reload-config` to apply the change.
  5. Access a file in the share by the SMB client.

The upstream bug is marked resolved, and includes patches backported to various samba versions. I haven't examined them for the nature of the fix but with them now released and available this issue may be worth another look.

The error tracker shows this crash has occurred 3 more times since this bug was last touched, although only once in the past 6 months. According to the tracker the crashes are appearing on bionic only (though I wonder if other releases have the same crash but just generate a different signature).

A good next-action would be to jot down commands to run in an lxc instance to reproduce the problem. With that in hand, the patches can then be reviewed and verified as addressing the crash, and an SRU can proceed from there.

There is a fix available, but is not frequent enough and there is a simple workaround: restart instead of reload. Also only that specific "force group" config change is affected.
