That is a rather old version by now. I suggest you upgrade.

You get called with a pointer to data that you must not (attempt to) free.

Of course this leaks memory since you do a 'new' and never delete the memory
again. This isn't libcurl's fault.

Again: you just don't. When you call curl_easy_cleanup() later on, libcurl
frees all internal memory it has allocated that is associated with the given
curl handle.

I'm not surprised.
