CWE-416

Allowed

Use After Free

Abstraction: Variant · Status: Stable

API response cwe.mitre.org

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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

9821 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Details

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

rxrpc: fix a race in rxrpc_exit_net()

Current code can lead to the following race:

CPU0 CPU1

rxrpc_exit_net() rxrpc_peer_keepalive_worker() if (rxnet->live)

rxnet->live = false; del_timer_sync(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_timer);

                                                         timer_reduce(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_timer, jiffies + delay);

cancel_work_sync(&rxnet->peer_keepalive_work);

rxrpc_exit_net() exits while peer_keepalive_timer is still armed, leading to use-after-free.

GHSA-VJ56-8X44-C882

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-03 18:33 – Updated: 2026-06-05 09:33
VLAI
Details

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

power: supply: rt9455: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed()

Using the devm_ variant for requesting IRQ before the devm_ variant for allocating/registering the power_supply handle, means that the power_supply handle will be deallocated/unregistered before the interrupt handler (since devm_ naturally deallocates in reverse allocation order). This means that during removal, there is a race condition where an interrupt can fire just after the power_supply handle has been freed, but just before the corresponding unregistration of the IRQ handler has run.

This will lead to the IRQ handler calling power_supply_changed() with a freed power_supply handle. Which usually crashes the system or otherwise silently corrupts the memory...

Note that there is a similar situation which can also happen during probe(); the possibility of an interrupt firing before registering the power_supply handle. This would then lead to the nasty situation of using the power_supply handle uninitialized in power_supply_changed().

Fix this racy use-after-free by making sure the IRQ is requested after the registration of the power_supply handle.

Kofax Power PDF OXPS File Parsing Use-After-Free Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Kofax Power PDF. 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 parsing of OXPS files. 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 arbitrary code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-21990.

GHSA-VJ8J-762W-6JMV

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-06-28 21:30 – Updated: 2024-03-27 15:30
VLAI
Details

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter subsystem in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c.

Mishandled error handling with NFT_MSG_NEWRULE makes it possible to use a dangling pointer in the same transaction causing a use-after-free vulnerability. This flaw allows a local attacker with user access to cause a privilege escalation issue.

We recommend upgrading past commit 1240eb93f0616b21c675416516ff3d74798fdc97.

GHSA-VJJG-R28Q-G2G4

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-08 18:31 – Updated: 2026-06-19 15:33
VLAI
Details

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

lib: test_hmm: evict device pages on file close to avoid use-after-free

Patch series "Minor hmm_test fixes and cleanups".

Two bugfixes a cleanup for the HMM kernel selftests. These were mostly reported by Zenghui Yu with special thanks to Lorenzo for analysing and pointing out the problems.

This patch (of 3):

When dmirror_fops_release() is called it frees the dmirror struct but doesn't migrate device private pages back to system memory first. This leaves those pages with a dangling zone_device_data pointer to the freed dmirror.

If a subsequent fault occurs on those pages (eg. during coredump) the dmirror_devmem_fault() callback dereferences the stale pointer causing a kernel panic. This was reported [1] when running mm/ksft_hmm.sh on arm64, where a test failure triggered SIGABRT and the resulting coredump walked the VMAs faulting in the stale device private pages.

Fix this by calling dmirror_device_evict_chunk() for each devmem chunk in dmirror_fops_release() to migrate all device private pages back to system memory before freeing the dmirror struct. The function is moved earlier in the file to avoid a forward declaration.

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.
