Bug Description
The sssd daemon is crashing when under heavy load on ubuntu 20.04.
I have created a python script that will log into an Ubuntu 20.04 ever second to test logging in via sssd. In my configuration, sssd is configured to authenticate LDAP requests.
When I run this script against 20.04, it will randomly fail to log in and my script will exit. This can happen anywhere from the first login attempt to the 100th login attempt.
When I run this same script again Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.10, it runs without any issues. I took my server running 20.04 and did a release upgrade to 20.10 and the script runs without issues.
Because of this, I believe the version of sssd included with 20.04 at the time of this bug:
sssd/focal,now 2.2.3-3 amd64 [installed]
is unstable and will crash causing some logins to fail.
When I upgraded to 20.10 and the version became:
sssd/groovy,now 2.3.1-3 amd64 [installed]
I no longer see any issues. Due to policies at my company, I am only able to run LTS version of Ubuntu, so I am requesting that the newer version of sssd in 20.10 be ported to 20.04.
Thanks

Thank you for your bug report, do you have any error recorded in /var/crash? Could you check the 'journalctl -f' log and see if any sssd error is printed when you get the failure? We usually don't do version updates if they are not bugfix only so understanding the issue and applying a patch might be a better solution
