General Bug kwalletd memory leak?
So after I updated yesterday and now I have kwallet 6.29.0-1 and kwalletmanager 26.08.0-1 I noticed a big ram consumption and when I checked, kwalletd was using like 3-4GiB of my RAM, and when I opem KWalletManager it freezes immediately and system asks to terminate it.
So is this a memory leak or what?

Hi, this is AutoKonqi reporting for duty: this post was flaired as General Bug.
While r/kde allows to discuss issues, raise their visibility, and get assistance from other users out of good will, it is not the proper channel to report issues and the developers able to fix them won't be able to act on them over Reddit.
So if this bug was not reported to the developers yet and it is in fact a bug in KDE software, please take a brief look at the issue reporting guide and report the issue over the KDE Bugzilla. If it is a crash, be sure to read about getting backtraces so your report can assist the developers. If this is a known issue, you may want to include the bug report on your post so your fellow users experiencing the same thing can CC themselves to the report. Be sure to describe your issue well and with context. Thank you.

does the rust programming language solve such problem?

rust is memory safe, but a lazy dev can still use unsafe functions causing memory leaks, but it's still rare

should they rewrite into rust the memory-critical components of plasma?

Faced the same issue, updated all the packages yesterday. Happens when we have a long uptime on our device.

I see this commit fixes some memory leak, which would be active when 6.30 is released.
