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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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

We need to properly clean-up all the paired MPTCP-level resources and be sure to release the msk last, even when the unaccepted subflow is destroyed by the TCP internals via inet_child_forget().
We can re-use the existing MPTCP_WORK_CLOSE_SUBFLOW infra, explicitly checking that for the critical scenario: the closed subflow is the MPC one, the msk is not accepted and eventually going through full cleanup.
With such change, __mptcp_destroy_sock() is always called on msk sockets, even on accepted ones. We don't need anymore to transiently drop one sk reference at msk clone time.

GHSA-R22R-3M6C-QV5R
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-10-20 21:31 – Updated: 2026-10-30 15:34When an FTP wildcard LIST operation fails, libcurl omits the restoration
path meant for successful listings, leaving the write callback set to the
internal listing parser and the write callback data pointing directly to the
easy handle. Subsequent reuse of this handle triggers an immediate crash, and
cloning it via curl_easy_duphandle() copies this corrupted state into the
duplicate. If the original handle is subsequently freed, executing a transfer
on the cloned handle causes a heap use-after-free read against the dangling
handle reference; alternatively, reusing the original or cloned handle while
changing only CURLOPT_WRITEDATA (and omitting CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION)
results in type confusion, forcing the internal parser to interpret incoming
server response bytes into memory at the application-supplied write data
pointer.

"details": "When an FTP wildcard `LIST` operation fails, libcurl omits the restoration\npath meant for successful listings, leaving the write callback set to the\ninternal listing parser and the write callback data pointing directly to the\neasy handle. Subsequent reuse of this handle triggers an immediate crash, and\ncloning it via `curl_easy_duphandle()` copies this corrupted state into the\nduplicate. If the original handle is subsequently freed, executing a transfer\non the cloned handle causes a heap use-after-free read against the dangling\nhandle reference; alternatively, reusing the original or cloned handle while\nchanging only `CURLOPT_WRITEDATA` (and omitting `CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION`)\nresults in type confusion, forcing the internal parser to interpret incoming\nserver response bytes into memory at the application-supplied write data\npointer.",

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.
