Description

libcurl contains a heap use-after-free flaw in code related to closing an easy handle. When closing and cleaning up an "easy" handle in the Curl_close() function, the library code first frees a struct (without nulling the pointer) and might then subsequently erroneously write to a struct field within that already freed struct.
