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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

9814 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Details

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

net: caif: Fix use-after-free in cfusbl_device_notify()

syzbot reported use-after-free in cfusbl_device_notify() [1]. This causes a stack trace like below:

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in cfusbl_device_notify+0x7c9/0x870 net/caif/caif_usb.c:138 Read of size 8 at addr ffff88807ac4e6f0 by task kworker/u4:6/1214

When unregistering a net device, unregister_netdevice_many_notify() sets the device's reg_state to NETREG_UNREGISTERING, calls notifiers with NETDEV_UNREGISTER, and adds the device to the todo list.

Later on, devices in the todo list are processed by netdev_run_todo(). netdev_run_todo() waits devices' reference count become 1 while rebdoadcasting NETDEV_UNREGISTER notification.

When cfusbl_device_notify() is called with NETDEV_UNREGISTER multiple times, the parent device might be freed. This could cause UAF. Processing NETDEV_UNREGISTER multiple times also causes inbalance of reference count for the module.

This patch fixes the issue by accepting only first NETDEV_UNREGISTER notification.

GHSA-PH8P-RRMJ-8GF2

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-09-06 15:30 – Updated: 2025-02-13 18:31
VLAI
Details

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_u32 component can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation.

When u32_change() is called on an existing filter, the whole tcf_result struct is always copied into the new instance of the filter. This causes a problem when updating a filter bound to a class, as tcf_unbind_filter() is always called on the old instance in the success path, decreasing filter_cnt of the still referenced class and allowing it to be deleted, leading to a use-after-free.

We recommend upgrading past commit 3044b16e7c6fe5d24b1cdbcf1bd0a9d92d1ebd81.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-01 06:31 – Updated: 2025-01-14 15:30

Details

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

btrfs: zoned: fix use-after-free in do_zone_finish()

Shinichiro reported the following use-after-free triggered by the device replace operation in fstests btrfs/070.

This UAF happens because we're accessing stale zone information of a already removed btrfs_device in do_zone_finish().

The sequence of events is as follows:

btrfs_dev_replace_start btrfs_scrub_dev btrfs_dev_replace_finishing btrfs_dev_replace_update_device_in_mapping_tree <-- devices replaced btrfs_rm_dev_replace_free_srcdev btrfs_free_device <-- device freed

cleaner_kthread btrfs_delete_unused_bgs btrfs_zone_finish do_zone_finish <-- refers the freed device

The reason for this is that we're using a ---truncated---

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.
