Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-416

Allowed

Use After Free

Abstraction: Variant · Status: Stable

API response cwe.mitre.org

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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

9821 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Summary
Oj: Use-After-Free in Oj::Parser Symbol Key Cache Toggle
Details

Summary

Disabling symbol_keys on a reused Oj::Parser instance triggers a heap use-after-free. When symbol_keys is toggled from true to false, opt_symbol_keys_set frees the internal key cache (cache_free) but does not clear the pointer. The next parse call reads from the freed cache via cache_intern, producing a use-after-free.

Version

  • Software: oj gem
  • Affected: all versions with ext/oj/usual.c
  • Latest tested: 3.17.1 (confirmed present)

Details

ext/oj/usual.c, opt_symbol_keys_set:

// usual.c:1043–1051
if (symbol_keys) {
    d->key_cache = cache_create(...);   // allocate
} else {
    cache_free(d->key_cache);           // free — but d->key_cache pointer not NULLed
}

On the next parse call, cache_key → cache_intern reads from d->key_cache which now points to freed memory.

ASAN report:

==145265==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-use-after-free on address 0x50b00001a318

Reproduce

require 'oj'

p.symbol_keys = false     # frees cache without nulling pointer
p.parse('{"attacker":1}') # UAF: reads freed cache

GHSA-2F4Q-FP76-VH93

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-13 01:33 – Updated: 2022-05-13 01:33
VLAI
Details

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Foxit Reader 9.2.0.9297. 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 handling of the vAlign property of a TimeField. 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 vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-6482.

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.
