Low Risk

This Affects:

C++libcurl
7.44.0 - 8.21.0
Fixed in 8.22.0

TL;DR

HTTP/2 server push on a handle that shares its connection cache with other handles frees a pushed stream during cleanup. Cleanup then uses that stream after the free, which can crash the process. The fix releases push streams while their parent structures are still valid.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and you share connections across handles and accept HTTP/2 server push.
