Bug#961128: apt-transport-https: https fails with segmentation fault

[Mehturt <mehturt@pm.me>]

Package: apt-transport-https
Version: 1.4.10
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

running "apt update" finishes with segmentation fault
when the following entry is in my sources.list:

deb http://packages.matrix.org/debian stretch main

Removing the entry from sources.list produces no crash.

This seems to be similar to already reported
