Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-416

Allowed

Use After Free

Abstraction: Variant · Status: Stable

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

11153 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 16:47 – Updated: 2022-10-14 12:00
VLAI
Details

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations of Foxit Reader 9.4.1.16828. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the resetForm method when processing AcroForms. The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the object. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-8229.

GHSA-3V7F-RJGX-9GRQ

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-09-06 15:30 – Updated: 2025-02-13 18:31
VLAI
Details

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

When nf_tables_delrule() is flushing table rules, it is not checked whether the chain is bound and the chain's owner rule can also release the objects in certain circumstances.

We recommend upgrading past commit 6eaf41e87a223ae6f8e7a28d6e78384ad7e407f8.

GHSA-3V8X-C22J-HV4Q

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-08 15:31 – Updated: 2026-05-11 09:30
VLAI
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: fix use-after-free by using call_rcu() for oplock_info

ksmbd currently frees oplock_info immediately using kfree(), even though it is accessed under RCU read-side critical sections in places like opinfo_get() and proc_show_files().

Since there is no RCU grace period delay between nullifying the pointer and freeing the memory, a reader can still access oplock_info structure after it has been freed. This can leads to a use-after-free especially in opinfo_get() where atomic_inc_not_zero() is called on already freed memory.

Fix this by switching to deferred freeing using call_rcu().

Strategy: Attack Surface Reduction

When freeing pointers, be sure to set them to NULL once they are freed. However, the utilization of multiple or complex data structures may lower the usefulness of this strategy.

No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
