Summary :
-------
There is a double free bug in curl when using p12 client certificate to connect to an https server.
Steps to reproduce :
------------------
Connect to any https server using a client certificate in pkcs12 format.
curl -vvv --cert yourcertificate.p12:yourpassword --cert-type P12 https://yourserver.com
eg:
* About to connect() to ************ port 443 (#0)
*   Trying **********...
* Connected to ********** (*.*.*.*) port 443 (#0)
* successfully set certificate verify locations:
*   CAfile: none
  CApath: /etc/ssl/certs
* SSLv3, TLS handshake, Client hello (1):
* SSLv3, TLS handshake, Server hello (2):
* SSLv3, TLS handshake, CERT (11):
* SSLv3, TLS alert, Server hello (2):
* SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
* Closing connection 0

Details :
--------
Bug was introduced in following commit to fix a memory leak: 
https://github.com/bagder/curl/commit/6ea7acf5a96786f7514be4fbce174cdc8bedfdd1
on line 512 of ssluse.c:  sk_X509_pop_free(ca, X509_free);
curl is freeing data related to the handling of the certificate which may have already being freed by SSL_CTX_free call made on line 865 of ssluse.c when we are closing the ssl connexion.
Here is a valgrind stacktrace:
