Segmentation fault when using composer - php

Question

OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
PHP Version: 7.4.22
I am trying to install a package with composer. But it caused a Segmentation Fault:
root#micro7:/www/wwwroot/micro7.ml# composer require laravel/breeze
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
The problem also appeared when creating project with composer:
root#micro7:~# composer create-project laravel/laravel micro7.ml
Creating a "laravel/laravel" project at "./micro7.ml"
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I used gdb to get the stack trace of the dumped core, it looked like this:
root#micro7:~# gdb php core

If you look at the first line of the output of the bt, you'll find that the Segmentation Fault maybe caused when establishing a SSL connection to the server of packagist.
I tried to reinstall composer, switch to the super user, reboot the server, even reinstalling the OS, but the problem still persist!
