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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

9851 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-04-12 18:33 – Updated: 2025-02-06 21:32
VLAI
Details

A Use-After-Free vulnerability in the Layer 2 Address Learning Daemon (l2ald)

of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause l2ald to crash leading to a Denial-of-Service (DoS).

In an EVPN-VXLAN scenario, when

state updates are received and processed by the affected system, the correct order of some processing steps is not ensured, which can lead to an l2ald crash and restart. Whether the crash occurs depends on system internal timing which is outside the attackers control. This issue affects:

Junos OS: 

  • All versions before 20.4R3-S8,
  • 21.2 versions before 21.2R3-S6,
  • 21.3 versions before 21.3R3-S5,
  • 21.4 versions before 21.4R3-S4,
  • 22.1 versions before 22.1R3-S3,
  • 22.2 versions before 22.2R3-S1,
  • 22.3 versions before 22.3R3,,
  • 22.4 versions before 22.4R2;

Junos OS Evolved: 

  • All versions before 20.4R3-S8-EVO,
  • 21.2-EVO versions before 21.2R3-S6-EVO, 
  • 21.3-EVO

versions before 21.3R3-S5-EVO, * 21.4-EVO

versions before 21.4R3-S4-EVO, * 22.1-EVO

versions before 22.1R3-S3-EVO, * 22.2-EVO

versions before 22.2R3-S1-EVO, * 22.3-EVO

versions before 22.3R3-EVO, * 22.4-EVO

versions before 22.4R2-EVO.

Foxit PDF Reader AcroForm Doc Object Use-After-Free Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Foxit PDF Reader. 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 Doc objects. 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-21085.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-05-17 15:31 – Updated: 2024-07-03 18:42

Details

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

x86/fpu: Keep xfd_state in sync with MSR_IA32_XFD

Commit 672365477ae8 ("x86/fpu: Update XFD state where required") and commit 8bf26758ca96 ("x86/fpu: Add XFD state to fpstate") introduced a per CPU variable xfd_state to keep the MSR_IA32_XFD value cached, in order to avoid unnecessary writes to the MSR.

On CPU hotplug MSR_IA32_XFD is reset to the init_fpstate.xfd, which wipes out any stale state. But the per CPU cached xfd value is not reset, which brings them out of sync.

As a consequence a subsequent xfd_update_state() might fail to update the MSR which in turn can result in XRSTOR raising a #NM in kernel space, which crashes the kernel.

To fix this, introduce xfd_set_state() to write xfd_state together with MSR_IA32_XFD, and use it in all places that set MSR_IA32_XFD.

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.
