 Description   

MariaDB [(none)]> show global status like 'memory_used';
------------------------+

Variable_name Value

------------------------+

Memory_used 552978904

------------------------+
1 row in set (0.001 sec)

whereas the process consumes 5G of RAM.

This is a different server but shows that memory management in MariaDB is somehow broken. This is related to #33390 where memory leaks cause frequent crashes of the server process.

Can you edit the affects Versions fields to all server versions you observe this on?
