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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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

Details

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

inet: fully convert sk->sk_rx_dst to RCU rules

syzbot reported various issues around early demux, one being included in this changelog [1]

sk->sk_rx_dst is using RCU protection without clearly documenting it.

And following sequences in tcp_v4_do_rcv()/tcp_v6_do_rcv() are not following standard RCU rules.

[a] dst_release(dst); [b] sk->sk_rx_dst = NULL;

They look wrong because a delete operation of RCU protected pointer is supposed to clear the pointer before the call_rcu()/synchronize_rcu() guarding actual memory freeing.

In some cases indeed, dst could be freed before [b] is done.

We could cheat by clearing sk_rx_dst before calling dst_release(), but this seems the right time to stick to standard RCU annotations and debugging facilities.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-02-27 21:32 – Updated: 2025-02-27 21:32

Details

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

scsi: lpfc: Resolve NULL ptr dereference after an ELS LOGO is aborted

A use-after-free crash can occur after an ELS LOGO is aborted.

Specifically, a nodelist structure is freed and then ndlp->vport->cfg_log_verbose is dereferenced in lpfc_nlp_get() when the discovery state machine is mistakenly called a second time with NLP_EVT_DEVICE_RM argument.

Rework lpfc_cmpl_els_logo() to prevent the duplicate calls to release a nodelist structure.

GHSA-RQ67-55M3-CQX9

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-10-01 09:30 – Updated: 2025-12-12 21:31
VLAI
Details

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

accel/ivpu: Prevent recovery work from being queued during device removal

Use disable_work_sync() instead of cancel_work_sync() in ivpu_dev_fini() to ensure that no new recovery work items can be queued after device removal has started. Previously, recovery work could be scheduled even after canceling existing work, potentially leading to use-after-free bugs if recovery accessed freed resources.

Rename ivpu_pm_cancel_recovery() to ivpu_pm_disable_recovery() to better reflect its new behavior.

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.
