I have not had time to properly look at this yet, but I agree with not
backporting the dynbuf functions for CVE-2023-27534 (at least from what I've
seen so far).

I'm not sure I understand this, I read it as "we are not affected at all" but
you're not explaining why there's no use after free. I haven't reviewed the
code so I wonder if you're talking about something trivial that I'll spot once
I dedicate more time to it.
To give you a rough timeline for changes, my current priorities for curl right
now are to get the fixes for CVE-2023-46218 and CVE-2023-46219 on all affected
releases, fix the ldap issue (#1057855) on unstable, and then come back to
CVE-2023-27534 and CVE-2023-28322 (to be more confident on what to do).
I appreciate the reach out.
Thank you,
