CWE-416
Weakness AllowedUse 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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
Mapping guidance
This CWE entry is at the Variant level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.
Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.
Relationships and members
Modes of introduction
Detection methods
Fuzzing
Fuzz testing (fuzzing) is a powerful technique for generating large numbers of diverse inputs - either randomly or algorithmically - and dynamically invoking the code with those inputs. Even with random inputs, it is often capable of generating unexpected results such as crashes, memory corruption, or resource consumption. Fuzzing effectively produces repeatable test cases that clearly indicate bugs, which helps developers to diagnose the issues.
Effectiveness: High
Automated Static Analysis
Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then searching for potentially-vulnerable patterns that connect "sources" (origins of input) with "sinks" (destinations where the data interacts with external components, a lower layer such as the OS, etc.)
Effectiveness: High
Automated Dynamic Analysis
Use tools that are integrated during compilation to insert runtime error-checking mechanisms related to memory safety errors, such as AddressSanitizer (ASan) for C/C++ [REF-1518].
Effectiveness: Moderate
Crafted inputs are necessary to reach the code containing the error, such as generated by fuzzers. Also, these tools may reduce performance, and they only report the error condition - not the original mistake that led to the error.

GHSA-QCMC-Q53M-HJR7
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-09-18 09:30 – Updated: 2025-11-04 00:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binder: fix UAF caused by offsets overwrite
Binder objects are processed and copied individually into the target buffer during transactions. Any raw data in-between these objects is copied as well. However, this raw data copy lacks an out-of-bounds check. If the raw data exceeds the data section size then the copy overwrites the offsets section. This eventually triggers an error that attempts to unwind the processed objects. However, at this point the offsets used to index these objects are now corrupted.
Unwinding with corrupted offsets can result in decrements of arbitrary nodes and lead to their premature release. Other users of such nodes are left with a dangling pointer triggering a use-after-free. This issue is made evident by the following KASAN report (trimmed):
================================================================== BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in _raw_spin_lock+0xe4/0x19c Write of size 4 at addr ffff47fc91598f04 by task binder-util/743

To avoid this issue, let's check that the raw data copy is within the boundaries of the data section.

However, at this point the\noffsets used to index these objects are now corrupted.\n\nUnwinding with corrupted offsets can result in decrements of arbitrary\nnodes and lead to their premature release. Other users of such nodes are\nleft with a dangling pointer triggering a use-after-free. This issue is\nmade evident by the following KASAN report (trimmed):\n\n ==================================================================\n BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in _raw_spin_lock+0xe4/0x19c\n Write of size 4 at addr ffff47fc91598f04 by task binder-util/743\n\n CPU: 9 UID: 0 PID: 743 Comm: binder-util Not tainted 6.11.0-rc4 #1\n Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT)\n Call trace:\n _raw_spin_lock+0xe4/0x19c\n binder_free_buf+0x128/0x434\n binder_thread_write+0x8a4/0x3260\n binder_ioctl+0x18f0/0x258c\n [...]\n\n Allocated by task 743:\n __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x110/0x270\n binder_new_node+0x50/0x700\n binder_transaction+0x413c/0x6da8\n binder_thread_write+0x978/0x3260\n binder_ioctl+0x18f0/0x258c\n [...]\n\n Freed by task 745:\n kfree+0xbc/0x208\n binder_thread_read+0x1c5c/0x37d4\n binder_ioctl+0x16d8/0x258c\n [...]\n ==================================================================\n\nTo avoid this issue, let\u0027s check that the raw data copy is within the\nboundaries of the data section.",

Mitigation
Strategy: Language Selection
Choose a language that provides automatic memory management.
Mitigation
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.
