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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
11157 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

GHSA-R8X4-762H-WJ65
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-15 15:31 – Updated: 2025-12-03 18:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: use RCU for hci_conn_params and iterate safely in hci_sync
hci_update_accept_list_sync iterates over hdev->pend_le_conns and hdev->pend_le_reports, and waits for controller events in the loop body, without holding hdev lock.
Meanwhile, these lists and the items may be modified e.g. by le_scan_cleanup. This can invalidate the list cursor or any other item in the list, resulting to invalid behavior (eg use-after-free).
Use RCU for the hci_conn_params action lists. Since the loop bodies in hci_sync block and we cannot use RCU or hdev->lock for the whole loop, copy list items first and then iterate on the copy. Only the flags field is written from elsewhere, so READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE should guarantee we read valid values.
Free params everywhere with hci_conn_params_free so the cleanup is guaranteed to be done properly.
This fixes the following, which can be triggered e.g. by BlueZ new mgmt-tester case "Add + Remove Device Nowait - Success", or by changing hci_le_set_cig_params to always return false, and running iso-tester:

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 handling of Annotation objects. The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the object.

GHSA-R949-42X5-FM64
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-03 18:33 – Updated: 2026-06-09 21:32In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: pm8916_lbc: Fix use-after-free for extcon in IRQ handler
Using the devm_ variant for requesting IRQ before the devm_
variant for allocating/registering the extcon handle, means that the
extcon handle will be deallocated/unregistered before the interrupt
handler (since devm_ naturally deallocates in reverse allocation
order). This means that during removal, there is a race condition where
an interrupt can fire just after the extcon handle has been
freed, but just before the corresponding unregistration of the IRQ
handler has run.
This will lead to the IRQ handler calling extcon_set_state_sync() with
a freed extcon handle. Which usually crashes the system or otherwise
silently corrupts the memory...
Fix this racy use-after-free by making sure the IRQ is requested after
the registration of the extcon handle.

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.
