CWE-416
AllowedUse 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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
10190 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

GHSA-9XMV-37C3-Q98H
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-02-23 15:30 – Updated: 2024-06-25 21:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: 8250: omap: Don't skip resource freeing if pm_runtime_resume_and_get() failed
Returning an error code from .remove() makes the driver core emit the little helpful error message:
remove callback returned a non-zero value. This will be ignored.
and then remove the device anyhow. So all resources that were not freed are leaked in this case. Skipping serial8250_unregister_port() has the potential to keep enough of the UART around to trigger a use-after-free.
So replace the error return (and with it the little helpful error message) by a more useful error message and continue to cleanup.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-04-03 15:30 – Updated: 2025-01-14 18:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: prevent use-after-free in encode_cap_msg()
In fs/ceph/caps.c, in encode_cap_msg(), "use after free" error was caught by KASAN at this line - 'ceph_buffer_get(arg->xattr_buf);'. This implies before the refcount could be increment here, it was freed.
In same file, in "handle_cap_grant()" refcount is decremented by this line - 'ceph_buffer_put(ci->i_xattrs.blob);'. It appears that a race occurred and resource was freed by the latter line before the former line could increment it.
encode_cap_msg() is called by __send_cap() and __send_cap() is called by ceph_check_caps() after calling __prep_cap(). __prep_cap() is where arg->xattr_buf is assigned to ci->i_xattrs.blob. This is the spot where the refcount must be increased to prevent "use after free" error.

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 the richValue property of a Field object within AcroForms. 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 in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-8272.

GHSA-C23C-RP3M-VPG3
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-10 18:31 – Updated: 2026-03-10 22:54Summary
At the rate limit filter, if we enabled the response phase limit with apply_on_stream_done in the rate limit configuration and the response phase limit request fails directly, it may crash Envoy.
Details
When both the request phase limit and response phase limit are enabled, the safe gRPC client instance will be re-used for both the request phase request and response phase request.
But after the request phase request is done, the inner state of the request phase limit request in gRPC client is not cleaned up. When we send the second limit request at response phase, and the second limit request fails directly, we may access the previous request's inner state and result in crash.
PoC
This need to mock the network failure. But we have reproduced by unit test locally.
Impact
This only happens when both the request phase limit and response phase limit are enabled in the rate limit filter, and requires the request to rate limit service fails directly (For example, if from Envoy's perspective, no healthy endpoint for rate limit service may result the request fails directly). That's say, not easy to trigger this.
To workaround
This could be worked around by splitting the rate limit filter. That is, if there is a rate limit filter that contains normal rate limit configuration (request phase limit, without apply_on_stream_done) and also rate limit configuration with apply_on_stream_done (response phase limit). Splitting them into two rate limit filters and ensure one filter only contains normal rate limit configuration (without apply_on_stream_done), and one only contains rate limit configuration with apply_on_stream_done could avoid this problem.

Mitigation
Strategy: Language Selection
Choose a language that provides automatic memory management.
Mitigation
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.
