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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

9870 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Details

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

af_unix: fix use-after-free in unix_stream_read_actor()

syzbot reported the following crash [1]

After releasing unix socket lock, u->oob_skb can be changed by another thread. We must temporarily increase skb refcount to make sure this other thread will not free the skb under us.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 19:01 – Updated: 2022-05-24 19:01
VLAI
Details

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Foxit Reader 10.1.1.37576. 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 processing of XFA templates. 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-13096.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-03-15 21:30 – Updated: 2025-03-13 21:31
VLAI
Details

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

btrfs: abort in rename_exchange if we fail to insert the second ref

Error injection stress uncovered a problem where we'd leave a dangling inode ref if we failed during a rename_exchange. This happens because we insert the inode ref for one side of the rename, and then for the other side. If this second inode ref insert fails we'll leave the first one dangling and leave a corrupt file system behind. Fix this by aborting if we did the insert for the first inode ref.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-08 22:15 – Updated: 2025-12-09 19:17
VLAI
Summary
Critical Use-After-Free in Wasmi's Linear Memory
Details

Summary

A use-after-free vulnerability has been discovered in the linear memory implementation of Wasmi. This issue can be triggered by a WebAssembly module under certain memory growth conditions, potentially leading to memory corruption, information disclosure, or code execution.

Impact

  • Confidentiality: High – attacker-controlled memory reads possible.
  • Integrity: High – memory corruption may allow arbitrary writes.
  • Availability: High – interpreter crashes possible.

Affected Versions

Wasmi v0.41.0 through Wasmi v1.0.0.

Workarounds

  • Upgrade to the latest patched version of Wasmi.
  • Consider limiting the maximum linear memory sizes where feasible.

Credits

This vulnerability was discovered by Robert T. Morris (RTM).

Severity
8.4 (High)
