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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
9835 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-02-28 09:30 – Updated: 2024-12-31 18:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: gadget: Free gadget structure only after freeing endpoints
As part of commit e81a7018d93a ("usb: dwc3: allocate gadget structure dynamically") the dwc3_gadget_release() was added which will free the dwc->gadget structure upon the device's removal when usb_del_gadget_udc() is called in dwc3_gadget_exit().
However, simply freeing the gadget results a dangling pointer situation: the endpoints created in dwc3_gadget_init_endpoints() have their dep->endpoint.ep_list members chained off the list_head anchored at dwc->gadget->ep_list. Thus when dwc->gadget is freed, the first dwc3_ep in the list now has a dangling prev pointer and likewise for the next pointer of the dwc3_ep at the tail of the list. The dwc3_gadget_free_endpoints() that follows will result in a use-after-free when it calls list_del().
This was caught by enabling KASAN and performing a driver unbind. The recent commit 568262bf5492 ("usb: dwc3: core: Add shutdown callback for dwc3") also exposes this as a panic during shutdown.
There are a few possibilities to fix this. One could be to perform a list_del() of the gadget->ep_list itself which removes it from the rest of the dwc3_ep chain.
Another approach is what this patch does, by splitting up the usb_del_gadget_udc() call into its separate "del" and "put" components. This allows dwc3_gadget_free_endpoints() to be called before the gadget is finally freed with usb_put_gadget().

GHSA-H7P9-F9R3-6533
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-10-21 18:30 – Updated: 2025-11-04 00:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: wait for fixup workers before stopping cleaner kthread during umount
During unmount, at close_ctree(), we have the following steps in this order:
1) Park the cleaner kthread - this doesn't destroy the kthread, it basically halts its execution (wake ups against it work but do nothing);
2) We stop the cleaner kthread - this results in freeing the respective struct task_struct;
3) We call btrfs_stop_all_workers() which waits for any jobs running in all the work queues and then free the work queues.
Syzbot reported a case where a fixup worker resulted in a crash when doing a delayed iput on its inode while attempting to wake up the cleaner at btrfs_add_delayed_iput(), because the task_struct of the cleaner kthread was already freed. This can happen during unmount because we don't wait for any fixup workers still running before we call kthread_stop() against the cleaner kthread, which stops and free all its resources.
Fix this by waiting for any fixup workers at close_ctree() before we call kthread_stop() against the cleaner and run pending delayed iputs.
The stack traces reported by syzbot were the following:

GHSA-H7R9-FFQQ-5R47
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-10-21 18:30 – Updated: 2026-06-01 18:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: efifb: Register sysfs groups through driver core
The driver core can register and cleanup sysfs groups already. Make use of that functionality to simplify the error handling and cleanup.
Also avoid a UAF race during unregistering where the sysctl attributes were usable after the info struct was freed.

Mitigation
Strategy: Language Selection
Choose a language that provides automatic memory management.
Mitigation
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.
