No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

A use-after-free vulnerability exists in libcurl when an application configures an HTTP/2 stream-dependency tree via CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS or CURLOPT_STREAM_DEPENDS_E, subsequently invokes curl_easy_reset(), and finally terminates the handle with curl_easy_cleanup(). During this final cleanup phase, libcurl attempts to access and modify an internal structure that was already freed during the reset operation.
