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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
12489 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

GHSA-J7FR-3V8C-3QC3
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-28 16:23 – Updated: 2026-07-28 16:23Summary
Using Database#create_aggregate, #create_aggregate_handler, or Database#define_aggregator to define an aggregate function, and then using an open statement calling that function after the database has been explicitly closed will result in an invalid memory read and a segmentation fault.
Mitigation
Upgrade to sqlite3 gem v2.9.5 or later.
As a workaround, avoid using an aggregate function after closing the database.
Severity
The sqlite3-ruby maintainers assess this as Low severity. It is reliably triggered after GC when code is structured in a particular way. There is no known general exploit that could be used as a denial of service attack.

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.
