"libcurl's ASN1 parser has this utf8asn1str() function used for parsing
an ASN.1 UTF-8 string. Itcan detect an invalid field and return error.
Unfortunately, when doing so it also invokes `free()` on a 4 byte
localstack buffer.  Most modern malloc implementations detect this
error and immediately abort. Some however accept the input pointer and
add that memory to its list of available chunks. This leads to the
overwriting of nearby stack memory. The content of the overwrite is
decided by the `free()` implementation; likely to be memory pointers
and a set of flags.  The most likely outcome of exploting this flaw is
a crash, although it cannot be ruled out that more serious results can
be had in special circumstances.
