Common Weakness Enumeration
CWE-416
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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
10318 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Title
Foxit PDF Editor/Reader Signature Hyperlink Use-After-Free Vulnerability
Summary
When the application opens a PDF, traverses and builds the annotation elements related to hyperlinks, it fails to validate the abnormal annotation relationships and field combinations. This results in the internal objects entering an invalid state. Eventually, during the destruction phase, an invalid pointer write occurred, causing the application to crash.

Title
Nokogiri: Possible Use-After-Free when `Nokogiri::XML::Document#encoding=` raises an exception
Summary
Nokogiri is an open source XML and HTML library for the Ruby programming language. Prior to 1.19.4, calling Document#encoding= with an invalid encoding (e.g., a non-string, or a string containing a null byte) raises an exception, but only after freeing the document's current encoding string without replacing it. The document is left referencing freed memory, so the next call to Document#encoding reads invalid memory, which can cause a segfault or leak freed bytes into a Ruby String. Affects the CRuby (libxml2) implementation only; JRuby is not affected. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.19.4.
