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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

11157 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

GHSA-HFR4-7C6C-48W2

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-09 20:23 – Updated: 2026-06-08 20:00
VLAI
Summary
Wasmtime has use-after-free bug after cloning `wasmtime::Linker`
Details

Impact

In version 43.0.0 of the wasmtime crate, cloning a wasmtime::Linker is unsound and can result in use-after-free bugs.

This bug is not controllable by guest Wasm programs. It can only be triggered by a specific sequence of embedder API calls made by the host.

The typical symptom of this use-after-free bug is a segfault. It does not enable heap corruption or data leakage.

If you are using the wasmtime CLI, rather than the embedding API, you are not affected. If you are using the embedding API but are not calling wasmtime::Linker's Clone implementation, you are not affected.

Specifically, the following steps must occur to trigger the bug:

  • Clone a wasmtime::Linker
  • Drop the original linker instance
  • Use the new, cloned linker instance, resulting in a use-after-free

Patches

This bug has been patched in Wasmtime version 43.0.1

Workarounds

Wasmtime embedders are highly encouraged to upgrade their wasmtime crate dependency.

If upgrading is not an option, or as a temporary workaround before upgrading, you can avoid this bug by not cloning wasmtime::Linker and instead creating a new, empty wasmtime::Linker and manually reregistering the host APIs from the original linker:

use wasmtime::{Linker, Result, Store};

fn clone_linker<T>(linker: &Linker<T>, store: &mut Store<T>) -> Result<Linker<T>> {
    let mut cloned = Linker::new();
    for (module, name, item) in linker.iter(store) {
        cloned.define(module, name, item)?;
    }
    Ok(cloned)
}

References

This bug was introduced during an internal refactoring that was part of our efforts to robustly handle allocation failure in Wasmtime. This refactoring introduced an string-interning pool which had an unsound TryClone[^try-clone] implementation.

[^try-clone]: The TryClone trait is our version of the Rust standard library's Clone trait that allows for returning OutOfMemory errors.

  • The StringPool was introduced in https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/12536, at which time the bug in TryClone for StringPool was already present, although this code path was not yet used anywhere.
  • wasmtime::Linker was refactored to internally use StringPool in https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/12537, at which time the buggy code path became accessible.
  • This bug was originally reported to the Wasmtime maintainers as https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/12906

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 16:47 – Updated: 2022-10-13 19:00
VLAI
Details

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Foxit Reader 9.4.1.16828. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the removeField method when processing AcroForms. The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-8163.

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.
