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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

9874 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-11-21 18:30 – Updated: 2022-11-22 21:30
VLAI
Details

A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the JavaScript engine of Foxit Software's PDF Reader, version 12.0.1.12430. By prematurely destroying annotation objects, a specially-crafted PDF document can trigger the reuse of previously freed memory, which can lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker needs to trick the user into opening the malicious file to trigger this vulnerability. Exploitation is also possible if a user visits a specially-crafted, malicious site if the browser plugin extension is enabled.

GHSA-52W9-98Q8-6PWF

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-08 18:31 – Updated: 2026-06-14 06:30
VLAI
Details

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

io-wq: check that the predecessor is hashed in io_wq_remove_pending()

io_wq_remove_pending() needs to fix up wq->hash_tail[] if the cancelled work was the tail of its hash bucket. When doing this, it checks whether the preceding entry in acct->work_list has the same hash value, but never checks that the predecessor is hashed at all. io_get_work_hash() is simply atomic_read(&work->flags) >> IO_WQ_HASH_SHIFT, and the hash bits are never set for non-hashed work, so it returns 0. Thus, when a hashed bucket-0 work is cancelled while a non-hashed work is its list predecessor, the check spuriously passes and a pointer to the non-hashed io_kiocb is stored in wq->hash_tail[0].

Because non-hashed work is dequeued via the fast path in io_get_next_work(), which never touches hash_tail[], the stale pointer is never cleared. Therefore, after the non-hashed io_kiocb completes and is freed back to req_cachep, wq->hash_tail[0] is a dangling pointer. The io_wq is per-task (tctx->io_wq) and survives ring open/close, so the dangling pointer persists for the lifetime of the task; the next hashed bucket-0 enqueue dereferences it in io_wq_insert_work() and wq_list_add_after() writes through freed memory.

Add the missing io_wq_is_hashed() check so a non-hashed predecessor never inherits a hash_tail[] slot.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-01-02 18:30 – Updated: 2024-07-09 12:30

Details

A use-after-free flaw was found in the netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel. If the catchall element is garbage-collected when the pipapo set is removed, the element can be deactivated twice. This can cause a use-after-free issue on an NFT_CHAIN object or NFT_OBJECT object, allowing a local unprivileged user to escalate their privileges on the system.

GHSA-532V-XPQ5-8H95

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-03 02:42 – Updated: 2026-04-06 23:10
VLAI
Summary
Electron: Use-after-free in offscreen child window paint callback
Details

Impact

Apps that use offscreen rendering and allow child windows via window.open() may be vulnerable to a use-after-free. If the parent offscreen WebContents is destroyed while a child window remains open, subsequent paint frames on the child dereference freed memory, which may lead to a crash or memory corruption.

Apps are only affected if they use offscreen rendering (webPreferences.offscreen: true) and their setWindowOpenHandler permits child windows. Apps that do not use offscreen rendering, or that deny child windows, are not affected.

Workarounds

Deny child window creation from offscreen renderers in your setWindowOpenHandler, or ensure child windows are closed before the parent is destroyed.

Fixed Versions

  • 41.0.0
  • 40.7.0
  • 39.8.1

Details

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

drm/xe/vm: move xa_alloc to prevent UAF

Evil user can guess the next id of the vm before the ioctl completes and then call vm destroy ioctl to trigger UAF since create ioctl is still referencing the same vm. Move the xa_alloc all the way to the end to prevent this.

v2: - Rebase

(cherry picked from commit dcfd3971327f3ee92765154baebbaece833d3ca9)

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 16:48 – Updated: 2024-04-04 01:02
VLAI
Details

An issue was discovered in PHOENIX CONTACT PC Worx through 1.86, PC Worx Express through 1.86, and Config+ through 1.86. A manipulated PC Worx or Config+ project file could lead to a Use-After-Free and remote code execution. The attacker needs to get access to an original PC Worx or Config+ project file to be able to manipulate it. After manipulation, the attacker needs to exchange the original file with the manipulated one on the application programming workstation.

Strategy: Language Selection

Choose a language that provides automatic memory management.

Mitigation
Implementation

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.

No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
