Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-03 07:01:26 UTC
Calling `curl_easy_pause()` within the event-based `CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION`
callback triggers a use-after-free vulnerability, where libcurl attempts to
store a flag using a dangling struct pointer immediately after that pointer's
memory has been freed.
