OpenSSL provider use-after-free
CVE-2026-80229 is fixed in 11 products on 1 platform, first by curl 8.18.0-1ubuntu2.7, released September 6, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
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.
