I couldn't reproduce it with a few simple examples. Is it possible for
you to show us the repository and command that caused this?

So presumably the sb->buf we pass to free() is not valid. Given the
address of the strbuf, and the address of the commit_info here:

we are at offset 160, which is almost certainly the ci->summary strbuf.
Which is:

The alloc/len look reasonable, but the buffer looks odd (it should
probably have some actual text in it). I don't see anywhere in the code
that we assign to that buffer or do anything questionable, though. We
just strbuf_add and then eventually strbuf_release it. You cannot even
get into this situation by calling strbuf_release twice, as it sets the
pointer to a known value after it is freed.
