How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest curl-7.69.1 to version 7.69.1+e1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream curl-7.69.1 package and not the curl-7.69.1 package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

Calling curl_easy_pause() within the event-based CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION callback triggers a use-after-free vulnerability, where libcurl attempts to store a flag using a dangling struct pointer immediately after that pointer's memory has been freed.
