Whether it's exactly the same issue or not, the point remains: a double-free in and of itself doesn't establish a critical CVE (or even a high one). There's a known double-free in that GitHub issue, if there's a second independent one, it shouldn't necessarily cause any more concern than the first one.
Color me unconvinced that the dev team that sat on the 2024 security audit leading to today's CVE successfully explored the ramifications of a new memory bug in an hour
