Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

When performing transfers via libcurl’s multi interface, pooled TLS
connections can outlive their originating easy handles. In OpenSSL 3 provider
configurations, libcurl attaches an allocated library context to the easy
handle's state and passes it to OpenSSL without acquiring an ownership
reference; destroying the easy handle prematurely frees this context while the
active connection retains a dangling pointer, leading to a heap-use-after-free
upon subsequent I/O or post-handshake operations.
