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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

11148 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

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

binder: fix node UAF in binder_add_freeze_work()

In binder_add_freeze_work() we iterate over the proc->nodes with the proc->inner_lock held. However, this lock is temporarily dropped in order to acquire the node->lock first (lock nesting order). This can race with binder_node_release() and trigger a use-after-free:

Fix the race by taking a temporary reference on the node before releasing the proc->inner lock. This ensures the node remains alive while in use.

Details

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Foxit Reader 9.0.1.1049. 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 parsing of Annotation's author attribute. 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 under the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-5435.

GHSA-WCHF-3RQ4-VH73

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-10-21 12:30 – Updated: 2026-05-12 12:32
VLAI
Details

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

block, bfq: fix possible UAF for bfqq->bic with merge chain

1) initial state, three tasks:

    Process 1       Process 2   Process 3
     (BIC1)          (BIC2)      (BIC3)
      |  Λ            |  Λ        |  Λ
      |  |            |  |        |  |
      V  |            V  |        V  |
      bfqq1           bfqq2       bfqq3

process ref: 1 1 1

2) bfqq1 merged to bfqq2:

    Process 1       Process 2   Process 3
     (BIC1)          (BIC2)      (BIC3)
      |               |       |  Λ
      \--------------\|       |  |
                      V       V  |
      bfqq1--------->bfqq2        bfqq3

process ref: 0 2 1

3) bfqq2 merged to bfqq3:

    Process 1       Process 2   Process 3
     (BIC1)          (BIC2)      (BIC3)
 here -> Λ                |       |
      \--------------\ \-------------\|
                      V       V
      bfqq1--------->bfqq2---------->bfqq3

process ref: 0 1 3

In this case, IO from Process 1 will get bfqq2 from BIC1 first, and then get bfqq3 through merge chain, and finially handle IO by bfqq3. Howerver, current code will think bfqq2 is owned by BIC1, like initial state, and set bfqq2->bic to BIC1.

bfq_insert_request -> by Process 1 bfqq = bfq_init_rq(rq) bfqq = bfq_get_bfqq_handle_split bfqq = bic_to_bfqq -> get bfqq2 from BIC1 bfqq->ref++ rq->elv.priv[0] = bic rq->elv.priv[1] = bfqq if (bfqq_process_refs(bfqq) == 1) bfqq->bic = bic -> record BIC1 to bfqq2

__bfq_insert_request new_bfqq = bfq_setup_cooperator -> get bfqq3 from bfqq2->new_bfqq bfqq_request_freed(bfqq) new_bfqq->ref++ rq->elv.priv[1] = new_bfqq -> handle IO by bfqq3

Fix the problem by checking bfqq is from merge chain fist. And this might fix a following problem reported by our syzkaller(unreproducible):
