Dear Maintainer,

The fix for CVE-2018-16864 contains a memory leak that was fixed for
newer distributions of Debian, but not old-stable. I believe this commit contains
the changes that need to be applied:

https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/commit/d9c31850e7bfbb537c7fdc81ad9a9fc96a1fd33e

Thanks,
Will
