Question

There are 2 pointers head and ptr where ptr =

head and head points to the linked list 7->0->8->0. I traverse the list using head and it reaches the last node with value 0. When I do head = NULL (that means make the last node disappear) and traverse the list now with help of ptr then ptr is still able to access the nulled last node. Why?

Yes.

But it's throwing error saying that "heap-use-after-free on address blah". Look ptr = head and ptr stands at the first node while the head has reached the last one and been deleted.

That doesn't mean you make the last node disappear, you just manipulate the location that your pointer pointed to, not the actual memory of that location.
