commit 02cc7b0ad435b313beb3cc6a0f49d950df075fe7
Author: Nicholas Clark <n...@ccl4.org>

Avoid read-after-free in S_scan_heredoc() if the terminator line has no
"\n".
The code added by commit 112d128413206514 to fix RT #65838 (Allow here-doc
with no final newline) could in some rare cases cause a read of free()d
memory during parsing. The code itself is only run if the Perl program
ends with a heredoc (which is an unusual structure), and if the last line of
the file on disk has terminating newline character (which is also unusual,
as many editors default to adding a final newline). The bug would be
triggered if the fixup code in S_scan_heredoc() triggered a reallocation of
the buffer in PL_linestr when adding a newline to it.
