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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
10192 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

GHSA-C4Q6-CXG2-PXC8
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-02-27 21:31 – Updated: 2025-01-08 18:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bus: mhi: core: Fix invalid error returning in mhi_queue
mhi_queue returns an error when the doorbell is not accessible in the current state. This can happen when the device is in non M0 state, like M3, and needs to be waken-up prior ringing the DB. This case is managed earlier by triggering an asynchronous M3 exit via controller resume/suspend callbacks, that in turn will cause M0 transition and DB update.
So, since it's not an error but just delaying of doorbell update, there is no reason to return an error.
This also fixes a use after free error for skb case, indeed a caller queuing skb will try to free the skb if the queueing fails, but in that case queueing has been done.

GHSA-C4XM-6JCF-XFQ6
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-02-28 09:30 – Updated: 2025-01-08 18:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: do asoc update earlier in sctp_sf_do_dupcook_a
There's a panic that occurs in a few of envs, the call trace is as below:
[] general protection fault, ... 0x29acd70f1000a: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI [] RIP: 0010:sctp_ulpevent_notify_peer_addr_change+0x4b/0x1fa [sctp] [] sctp_assoc_control_transport+0x1b9/0x210 [sctp] [] sctp_do_8_2_transport_strike.isra.16+0x15c/0x220 [sctp] [] sctp_cmd_interpreter.isra.21+0x1231/0x1a10 [sctp] [] sctp_do_sm+0xc3/0x2a0 [sctp] [] sctp_generate_timeout_event+0x81/0xf0 [sctp]
This is caused by a transport use-after-free issue. When processing a duplicate COOKIE-ECHO chunk in sctp_sf_do_dupcook_a(), both COOKIE-ACK and SHUTDOWN chunks are allocated with the transort from the new asoc. However, later in the sideeffect machine, the old asoc is used to send them out and old asoc's shutdown_last_sent_to is set to the transport that SHUTDOWN chunk attached to in sctp_cmd_setup_t2(), which actually belongs to the new asoc. After the new_asoc is freed and the old asoc T2 timeout, the old asoc's shutdown_last_sent_to that is already freed would be accessed in sctp_sf_t2_timer_expire().
Thanks Alexander and Jere for helping dig into this issue.
To fix it, this patch is to do the asoc update first, then allocate the COOKIE-ACK and SHUTDOWN chunks with the 'updated' old asoc. This would make more sense, as a chunk from an asoc shouldn't be sent out with another asoc. We had fixed quite a few issues caused by this.

GHSA-C52J-4PG6-8F2F
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-24 18:32 – Updated: 2026-08-10 15:33In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe: Fix error cleanup in xe_exec_queue_create_ioctl()
Two error handling issues exist in xe_exec_queue_create_ioctl():
-
When xe_hw_engine_group_add_exec_queue() fails, the error path jumps to put_exec_queue which skips xe_exec_queue_kill(). If the VM is in preempt fence mode, xe_vm_add_compute_exec_queue() has already added the queue to the VM's compute exec queue list. Skipping the kill leaves the queue on that list, leading to a dangling pointer after the queue is freed.
-
When xa_alloc() fails after xe_hw_engine_group_add_exec_queue() has succeeded, the error path does not call xe_hw_engine_group_del_exec_queue() to remove the queue from the hw engine group list. The queue is then freed while still linked into the hw engine group, causing a use-after-free.
Fix both by: - Changing the xe_hw_engine_group_add_exec_queue() failure path to jump to kill_exec_queue so that xe_exec_queue_kill() properly removes the queue from the VM's compute list. - Adding a del_hw_engine_group label before kill_exec_queue for the xa_alloc() failure path, which removes the queue from the hw engine group before proceeding with the rest of the cleanup.
(cherry picked from commit 37c831f401746a45d510b312b0ed7a77b1e06ec8)

"details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrm/xe: Fix error cleanup in xe_exec_queue_create_ioctl()\n\nTwo error handling issues exist in xe_exec_queue_create_ioctl():\n\n1. When xe_hw_engine_group_add_exec_queue() fails, the error path jumps\n to put_exec_queue which skips xe_exec_queue_kill(). If the VM is in\n preempt fence mode, xe_vm_add_compute_exec_queue() has already added\n the queue to the VM\u0027s compute exec queue list. Skipping the kill\n leaves the queue on that list, leading to a dangling pointer after\n the queue is freed.\n\n2. When xa_alloc() fails after xe_hw_engine_group_add_exec_queue() has\n succeeded, the error path does not call\n xe_hw_engine_group_del_exec_queue() to remove the queue from the hw\n engine group list. The queue is then freed while still linked into\n the hw engine group, causing a use-after-free.\n\nFix both by:\n- Changing the xe_hw_engine_group_add_exec_queue() failure path to jump\n to kill_exec_queue so that xe_exec_queue_kill() properly removes the\n queue from the VM\u0027s compute list.\n- Adding a del_hw_engine_group label before kill_exec_queue for the\n xa_alloc() failure path, which removes the queue from the hw engine\n group before proceeding with the rest of the cleanup.\n\n(cherry picked from commit 37c831f401746a45d510b312b0ed7a77b1e06ec8)",

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.
