CWE-416

Use After Free

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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

CVE-2022-29227 (GCVE-0-2022-29227)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-06-09 19:30 – Updated: 2025-04-23 18:17

Title
Use after free in Envoy
Summary
Envoy is a cloud-native high-performance edge/middle/service proxy. In versions prior to 1.22.1 if Envoy attempts to send an internal redirect of an HTTP request consisting of more than HTTP headers, there’s a lifetime bug which can be triggered. If while replaying the request Envoy sends a local reply when the redirect headers are processed, the downstream state indicates that the downstream stream is not complete. On sending the local reply, Envoy will attempt to reset the upstream stream, but as it is actually complete, and deleted, this result in a use-after-free. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade are advised to disable internal redirects if crashes are observed.

Mitigation

Phase: Architecture and Design

Strategy: Language Selection

Description:

  • Choose a language that provides automatic memory management.
Mitigation

Phase: Implementation

Strategy: Attack Surface Reduction

Description:

  • 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.
