GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration
Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-416

Allowed

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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

10887 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

GHSA-WM4W-V52H-8QFC

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-14 01:54 – Updated: 2024-10-21 15:32
VLAI
Details

A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when deleting an input element during a mutation event handler triggered by focusing that element. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 60, Thunderbird < 52.9, Firefox ESR < 60.1, Firefox ESR < 52.9, and Firefox < 61.

GHSA-WM5F-4G6V-FM7R

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-10-21 21:30 – Updated: 2024-10-24 18:30
VLAI
Details

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

hwmon: (ibmpex) Fix possible UAF when ibmpex_register_bmc() fails

Smatch report warning as follows:

drivers/hwmon/ibmpex.c:509 ibmpex_register_bmc() warn: '&data->list' not removed from list

If ibmpex_find_sensors() fails in ibmpex_register_bmc(), data will be freed, but data->list will not be removed from driver_data.bmc_data, then list traversal may cause UAF.

Fix by removeing it from driver_data.bmc_data before free().

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-24 18:31 – Updated: 2026-08-27 15:31
VLAI
Details

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

netfs: Fix potential UAF in netfs_unlock_abandoned_read_pages()

netfs_unlock_abandoned_read_pages(rreq) accesses the index of the folios it is wanting to unlock and compares that to rreq->no_unlock_folio so that it doesn't unlock a folio being read for netfs_perform_write() or netfs_write_begin().

However, given that netfs_unlock_abandoned_read_pages() is called after NETFS_RREQ_IN_PROGRESS is cleared, the one folio that it's not allowed to dereference is the one specified by ->no_unlock_folio as ownership immediately reverts to the caller.

Fix this by storing the folio pointer instead and using that rather than the index. Also fix netfs_unlock_read_folio() where the same applies.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-03-30 00:00 – Updated: 2026-07-29 15:30
VLAI
Details

A use-after-free exists in the Linux Kernel in tc_new_tfilter that could allow a local attacker to gain privilege escalation. The exploit requires unprivileged user namespaces. We recommend upgrading past commit 04c2a47ffb13c29778e2a14e414ad4cb5a5db4b5

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.
