Affects trusty too. A quick way to reproduce this is (works 9 times out of 10 here):
$ bash -c 'read -N 10000000' < /dev/urandom

Trusty output:
$ bash -c 'read -N 10000000' < /dev/urandom
malloc: ../.././builtins/../.././builtins/read.def:603: assertion botched
realloc: start and end chunk sizes differ
Aborting...Aborted
