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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

12168 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

GHSA-92CX-CG65-38VH

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-06-18 12:30 – Updated: 2025-11-21 00:30
VLAI
Details

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

ath9k: fix use-after-free in ath9k_hif_usb_rx_cb

Syzbot reported use-after-free Read in ath9k_hif_usb_rx_cb() [0]. The problem was in incorrect htc_handle->drv_priv initialization.

Probable call trace which can trigger use-after-free:

ath9k_htc_probe_device() /* htc_handle->drv_priv = priv; */ ath9k_htc_wait_for_target() <--- Failed ieee80211_free_hw() <--- priv pointer is freed

... ath9k_hif_usb_rx_cb() ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream() RX_STAT_INC() <--- htc_handle->drv_priv access

In order to not add fancy protection for drv_priv we can move htc_handle->drv_priv initialization at the end of the ath9k_htc_probe_device() and add helper macro to make all STAT macros NULL safe, since syzbot has reported related NULL deref in that macros [1]

Summary
Microsoft QUIC: Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Details

Summary

Use after free in Microsoft QUIC allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

Details

New network path creations and removals triggered by incoming packets can lead to a pointer invalidation.

Patches

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted packet to an affected service over the network. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to execute code on the target system. No authentication or user interaction is required.

GHSA-92HV-JCVF-RQG6

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-28 12:30 – Updated: 2026-10-15 03:36
VLAI
Details

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

ip6_gre: Use cached t->net in ip6erspan_changelink().

After commit 5e72ce3e3980 ("net: ipv6: Use link netns in newlink() of rtnl_link_ops"), ip6erspan_newlink() correctly resolves the per-netns ip6gre hash via link_net. ip6erspan_changelink() was not converted in that series and still uses dev_net(dev), which diverges from the device's creation netns after IFLA_NET_NS_FD migration.

This re-inserts the tunnel into the wrong per-netns hash. The original netns keeps a stale entry. When that netns is later destroyed, ip6gre_exit_rtnl_net() walks the stale entry, producing a slab-use-after-free reported by KASAN, followed by a kernel BUG at net/core/dev.c (LIST_POISON1) in unregister_netdevice_many_notify().

Reachable from an unprivileged user namespace (unshare --user --map-root-user --net).

ip6gre_changelink() earlier in the same file already uses the cached t->net; only ip6erspan_changelink() has the wrong shape.

  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nip6_gre: Use cached t-\u003enet in ip6erspan_changelink().\n\nAfter commit 5e72ce3e3980 (\"net: ipv6: Use link netns in newlink() of\nrtnl_link_ops\"), ip6erspan_newlink() correctly resolves the per-netns\nip6gre hash via link_net. ip6erspan_changelink() was not converted in\nthat series and still uses dev_net(dev), which diverges from the\ndevice\u0027s creation netns after IFLA_NET_NS_FD migration.\n\nThis re-inserts the tunnel into the wrong per-netns hash. The\noriginal netns keeps a stale entry. When that netns is later\ndestroyed, ip6gre_exit_rtnl_net() walks the stale entry, producing a\nslab-use-after-free reported by KASAN, followed by a kernel BUG at\nnet/core/dev.c (LIST_POISON1) in unregister_netdevice_many_notify().\n\nReachable from an unprivileged user namespace (unshare --user\n--map-root-user --net).\n\nip6gre_changelink() earlier in the same file already uses the cached\nt-\u003enet; only ip6erspan_changelink() has the wrong shape.",

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.
