Description
A use after free vulnerability exists in curl <v8.1.0 in the way libcurl offers a feature to verify an SSH server's public key using a SHA 256 hash.

This flaw risks inserting sensitive heap-based data into the error message that might be shown to users or otherwise get leaked and revealed.
