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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
9841 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

GHSA-VGGV-F293-VMJW
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-22 15:31 – Updated: 2026-07-14 15:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio_net: Fix UAF on dst_ops when IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is cleared and napi_tx is false
A UAF issue occurs when the virtio_net driver is configured with napi_tx=N and the device's IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE flag is cleared (e.g., during the configuration of tc route filter rules).
When IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE is removed from the net_device, the network stack expects the driver to hold the reference to skb->dst until the packet is fully transmitted and freed. In virtio_net with napi_tx=N, skbs may remain in the virtio transmit ring for an extended period.
If the network namespace is destroyed while these skbs are still pending, the corresponding dst_ops structure has freed. When a subsequent packet is transmitted, free_old_xmit() is triggered to clean up old skbs. It then calls dst_release() on the skb associated with the stale dst_entry. Since the dst_ops (referenced by the dst_entry) has already been freed, a UAF kernel paging request occurs.
fix it by adds skb_dst_drop(skb) in start_xmit to explicitly release the dst reference before the skb is queued in virtio_net.

GHSA-VGMH-MQM4-8J88
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-03-24 16:06 – Updated: 2025-03-24 16:06Affected versions of this crate didn't provide sufficient lifetime constraints to conversion functions from alloc::sync::Arc and alloc::rc::Rc, which made it possible to create projections of these reference counted pointers. Unlike the original reference counted pointers, these projections could outlive original data's lifetimes.
This projected pointer could cause the original Arc's or Rc's Drop::drop to get called at a point where the original data was no longer valid, leading to a potential use after free.
The affected functions were
- pared::prc::Prc::from_rc
- pared::prc::Prc::project
- pared::prc::Prc::try_from_rc
- pared::sync::Parc::from_arc
- pared::sync::Parc::project
- pared::sync::Parc::try_from_arc
This flaw was fixed in 108f540ea8acb6073751a1aa386085c1cdc4fd1e by requiring that the type stored in the Arcs and Rcs passed to these functions contain T: 'static.

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.
