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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

11861 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-07-04 15:31 – Updated: 2025-12-18 21:31
VLAI
Details

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

RDMA/iwcm: Fix use-after-free of work objects after cm_id destruction

The commit 59c68ac31e15 ("iw_cm: free cm_id resources on the last deref") simplified cm_id resource management by freeing cm_id once all references to the cm_id were removed. The references are removed either upon completion of iw_cm event handlers or when the application destroys the cm_id. This commit introduced the use-after-free condition where cm_id_private object could still be in use by event handler works during the destruction of cm_id. The commit aee2424246f9 ("RDMA/iwcm: Fix a use-after-free related to destroying CM IDs") addressed this use-after- free by flushing all pending works at the cm_id destruction.

However, still another use-after-free possibility remained. It happens with the work objects allocated for each cm_id_priv within alloc_work_entries() during cm_id creation, and subsequently freed in dealloc_work_entries() once all references to the cm_id are removed. If the cm_id's last reference is decremented in the event handler work, the work object for the work itself gets removed, and causes the use- after-free BUG below:

This BUG is reproducible by repeating the blktests test case nvme/061 for the rdma transport and the siw driver.

To avoid the use-after-free of cm_id_private work objects, ensure that the last reference to the cm_id is decremented not in the event handler works, but in the cm_id destruction context. For that purpose, mo ---truncated---

This commit introduced the use-after-free condition where\ncm_id_private object could still be in use by event handler works during\nthe destruction of cm_id. The commit aee2424246f9 (\"RDMA/iwcm: Fix a\nuse-after-free related to destroying CM IDs\") addressed this use-after-\nfree by flushing all pending works at the cm_id destruction.\n\nHowever, still another use-after-free possibility remained. It happens\nwith the work objects allocated for each cm_id_priv within\nalloc_work_entries() during cm_id creation, and subsequently freed in\ndealloc_work_entries() once all references to the cm_id are removed.\nIf the cm_id\u0027s last reference is decremented in the event handler work,\nthe work object for the work itself gets removed, and causes the use-\nafter-free BUG below:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __pwq_activate_work+0x1ff/0x250\n  Read of size 8 at addr ffff88811f9cf800 by task kworker/u16:1/147091\n\n  CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 147091 Comm: kworker/u16:1 Not tainted 6.15.0-rc2+ #27 PREEMPT(voluntary)\n  Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.3-3.fc41 04/01/2014\n  Workqueue:  0x0 (iw_cm_wq)\n  Call Trace:\n   \u003cTASK\u003e\n   dump_stack_lvl+0x6a/0x90\n   print_report+0x174/0x554\n   ? __virt_addr_valid+0x208/0x430\n   ? __pwq_activate_work+0x1ff/0x250\n   kasan_report+0xae/0x170\n   ? __pwq_activate_work+0x1ff/0x250\n   __pwq_activate_work+0x1ff/0x250\n   pwq_dec_nr_in_flight+0x8c5/0xfb0\n   process_one_work+0xc11/0x1460\n   ? __pfx_process_one_work+0x10/0x10\n   ? assign_work+0x16c/0x240\n   worker_thread+0x5ef/0xfd0\n   ? __pfx_worker_thread+0x10/0x10\n   kthread+0x3b0/0x770\n   ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10\n   ? rcu_is_watching+0x11/0xb0\n   ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x24/0x50\n   ? rcu_is_watching+0x11/0xb0\n   ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10\n   ret_from_fork+0x30/0x70\n   ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10\n   ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30\n   \u003c/TASK\u003e\n\n  Allocated by task 147416:\n   kasan_save_stack+0x2c/0x50\n   kasan_save_track+0x10/0x30\n   __kasan_kmalloc+0xa6/0xb0\n   alloc_work_entries+0xa9/0x260 [iw_cm]\n   iw_cm_connect+0x23/0x4a0 [iw_cm]\n   rdma_connect_locked+0xbfd/0x1920 [rdma_cm]\n   nvme_rdma_cm_handler+0x8e5/0x1b60 [nvme_rdma]\n   cma_cm_event_handler+0xae/0x320 [rdma_cm]\n   cma_work_handler+0x106/0x1b0 [rdma_cm]\n   process_one_work+0x84f/0x1460\n   worker_thread+0x5ef/0xfd0\n   kthread+0x3b0/0x770\n   ret_from_fork+0x30/0x70\n   ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30\n\n  Freed by task 147091:\n   kasan_save_stack+0x2c/0x50\n   kasan_save_track+0x10/0x30\n   kasan_save_free_info+0x37/0x60\n   __kasan_slab_free+0x4b/0x70\n   kfree+0x13a/0x4b0\n   dealloc_work_entries+0x125/0x1f0 [iw_cm]\n   iwcm_deref_id+0x6f/0xa0 [iw_cm]\n   cm_work_handler+0x136/0x1ba0 [iw_cm]\n   process_one_work+0x84f/0x1460\n   worker_thread+0x5ef/0xfd0\n   kthread+0x3b0/0x770\n   ret_from_fork+0x30/0x70\n   ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30\n\n  Last potentially related work creation:\n   kasan_save_stack+0x2c/0x50\n   kasan_record_aux_stack+0xa3/0xb0\n   __queue_work+0x2ff/0x1390\n   queue_work_on+0x67/0xc0\n   cm_event_handler+0x46a/0x820 [iw_cm]\n   siw_cm_upcall+0x330/0x650 [siw]\n   siw_cm_work_handler+0x6b9/0x2b20 [siw]\n   process_one_work+0x84f/0x1460\n   worker_thread+0x5ef/0xfd0\n   kthread+0x3b0/0x770\n   ret_from_fork+0x30/0x70\n   ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30\n\nThis BUG is reproducible by repeating the blktests test case nvme/061\nfor the rdma transport and the siw driver.\n\nTo avoid the use-after-free of cm_id_private work objects, ensure that\nthe last reference to the cm_id is decremented not in the event handler\nworks, but in the cm_id destruction context.

GHSA-WF29-45CM-8J34

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-02-19 00:00 – Updated: 2022-03-01 00:00
VLAI
Details

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Sante DICOM Viewer Pro 11.8.7.0. 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 DCM 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-15100.

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.
