Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-416

Allowed

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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

12220 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

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

drm/shmem-helper: Remove another errant put in error path

drm_gem_shmem_mmap() doesn't own reference in error code path, resulting in the dma-buf shmem GEM object getting prematurely freed leading to a later use-after-free.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-25 12:31 – Updated: 2026-07-27 06:30
VLAI
Details

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

crypto: krb5 - filter out async aead implementations at alloc

krb5_aead_encrypt(), krb5_aead_decrypt() in rfc3961_simplified.c and rfc8009_encrypt(), rfc8009_decrypt() in rfc8009_aes2.c set a NULL completion callback and treat any negative return from crypto_aead_{encrypt,decrypt}() as terminal, falling through to kfree_sensitive(buffer). When the encrypt_name resolves to an async AEAD instance the request returns -EINPROGRESS, the buffer is freed while the backend's worker still holds a pointer, and the worker dereferences the freed slab on completion.

KASAN report under UML+SLUB with a synthetic async aead backend bound to krb5->encrypt_name:

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in t5_stub_complete+0x7d/0xc7

The helpers were written synchronously, so filter the async instances out at allocation time instead of plumbing crypto_wait_req() through every call site.

Reachable via net/rxrpc/rxgk.c, fs/afs/cm_security.c and net/ceph/crypto.c on systems with an async AEAD provider bound to the krb5 enctype name.

GHSA-F87H-88F3-M92W

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-10 15:33 – Updated: 2026-08-19 18:32
VLAI
Details

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

bpf, sockmap: Fix cork use-after-free in tcp_bpf_sendmsg()

tcp_bpf_sendmsg() keeps msg_tx across sk_stream_wait_memory(), which drops and reacquires the socket lock. Its error path tries to decide whether msg_tx names the local temporary message by comparing it with the current value of psock->cork.

This comparison is unsafe when two threads send on the same socket:

Thread A Thread B msg_tx = psock->cork sk_msg_alloc() fails sk_stream_wait_memory() releases the socket lock acquires the socket lock completes the cork psock->cork = NULL frees the cork reacquires the socket lock msg_tx != psock->cork sk_msg_free(msg_tx)

The stale cork is therefore mistaken for the local temporary message and freed again. KASAN reported:

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in sk_msg_free+0x49/0x50 Read of size 4 at addr ffff88810c908800 by task poc/90 Call Trace: sk_msg_free+0x49/0x50 tcp_bpf_sendmsg+0x14f5/0x1cc0 __sys_sendto+0x32c/0x3a0 __x64_sys_sendto+0xdb/0x1b0 Allocated by task 89: __kasan_kmalloc+0x8f/0xa0 tcp_bpf_sendmsg+0x16b3/0x1cc0 Freed by task 91: __kasan_slab_free+0x43/0x70 kfree+0x131/0x3c0 tcp_bpf_sendmsg+0xec3/0x1cc0

msg_tx can only name the stack-local tmp or the shared cork. Check for tmp directly so a changed psock->cork cannot turn a shared message into an apparent local one.

GHSA-F8FR-XVCP-37M8

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-21 15:31 – Updated: 2024-12-26 21:30
VLAI
Details

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

arch_topology: Avoid use-after-free for scale_freq_data

Currently topology_scale_freq_tick() (which gets called from scheduler_tick()) may end up using a pointer to "struct scale_freq_data", which was previously cleared by topology_clear_scale_freq_source(), as there is no protection in place here. The users of topology_clear_scale_freq_source() though needs a guarantee that the previously cleared scale_freq_data isn't used anymore, so they can free the related resources.

Since topology_scale_freq_tick() is called from scheduler tick, we don't want to add locking in there. Use the RCU update mechanism instead (which is already used by the scheduler's utilization update path) to guarantee race free updates here.

synchronize_rcu() makes sure that all RCU critical sections that started before it is called, will finish before it returns. And so the callers of topology_clear_scale_freq_source() don't need to worry about their callback getting called anymore.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-21 18:31 – Updated: 2024-12-04 18:32

Details

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

fbdev: imsttfb: fix a resource leak in probe

I've re-written the error handling but the bug is that if init_imstt() fails we need to call iounmap(par->cmap_regs).

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.
