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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
9874 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-07-29 15:30 – Updated: 2025-11-04 00:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cachefiles: Set object to close if ondemand_id < 0 in copen
If copen is maliciously called in the user mode, it may delete the request corresponding to the random id. And the request may have not been read yet.
Note that when the object is set to reopen, the open request will be done with the still reopen state in above case. As a result, the request corresponding to this object is always skipped in select_req function, so the read request is never completed and blocks other process.
Fix this issue by simply set object to close if its id < 0 in copen.

GHSA-W28C-HQG3-44GM
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-01-15 15:31 – Updated: 2025-11-03 21:32In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: flush delalloc workers queue before stopping cleaner kthread during unmount
During the unmount path, at close_ctree(), we first stop the cleaner kthread, using kthread_stop() which frees the associated task_struct, and then stop and destroy all the work queues. However after we stopped the cleaner we may still have a worker from the delalloc_workers queue running inode.c:submit_compressed_extents(), which calls btrfs_add_delayed_iput(), which in turn tries to wake up the cleaner kthread - which was already destroyed before, resulting in a use-after-free on the task_struct.
Syzbot reported this with the following stack traces:

"details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbtrfs: flush delalloc workers queue before stopping cleaner kthread during unmount\n\nDuring the unmount path, at close_ctree(), we first stop the cleaner\nkthread, using kthread_stop() which frees the associated task_struct, and\nthen stop and destroy all the work queues. However after we stopped the\ncleaner we may still have a worker from the delalloc_workers queue running\ninode.c:submit_compressed_extents(), which calls btrfs_add_delayed_iput(),\nwhich in turn tries to wake up the cleaner kthread - which was already\ndestroyed before, resulting in a use-after-free on the task_struct.\n\nSyzbot reported this with the following stack traces:\n\n BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __lock_acquire+0x78/0x2100 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5089\n Read of size 8 at addr ffff8880259d2818 by task kworker/u8:3/52\n\n CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 52 Comm: kworker/u8:3 Not tainted 6.13.0-rc1-syzkaller-00002-gcdd30ebb1b9f #0\n Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 09/13/2024\n Workqueue: btrfs-delalloc btrfs_work_helper\n Call Trace:\n \u003cTASK\u003e\n __dump_stack lib/dump_stack.c:94 [inline]\n dump_stack_lvl+0x241/0x360 lib/dump_stack.c:120\n print_address_description mm/kasan/report.c:378 [inline]\n print_report+0x169/0x550 mm/kasan/report.c:489\n kasan_report+0x143/0x180 mm/kasan/report.c:602\n __lock_acquire+0x78/0x2100 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5089\n lock_acquire+0x1ed/0x550 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:5849\n __raw_spin_lock_irqsave include/linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:110 [inline]\n _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0xd5/0x120 kernel/locking/spinlock.c:162\n class_raw_spinlock_irqsave_constructor include/linux/spinlock.h:551 [inline]\n try_to_wake_up+0xc2/0x1470 kernel/sched/core.c:4205\n submit_compressed_extents+0xdf/0x16e0 fs/btrfs/inode.c:1615\n run_ordered_work fs/btrfs/async-thread.c:288 [inline]\n btrfs_work_helper+0x96f/0xc40 fs/btrfs/async-thread.c:324\n process_one_work kernel/workqueue.c:3229 [inline]\n process_scheduled_works+0xa66/0x1840 kernel/workqueue.c:3310\n worker_thread+0x870/0xd30 kernel/workqueue.c:3391\n kthread+0x2f0/0x390 kernel/kthread.c:389\n ret_from_fork+0x4b/0x80 arch/x86/kernel/process.c:147\n ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:244\n \u003c/TASK\u003e\n\n Allocated by task 2:\n kasan_save_stack mm/kasan/common.c:47 [inline]\n kasan_save_track+0x3f/0x80 mm/kasan/common.c:68\n unpoison_slab_object mm/kasan/common.c:319 [inline]\n __kasan_slab_alloc+0x66/0x80 mm/kasan/common.c:345\n kasan_slab_alloc include/linux/kasan.h:250 [inline]\n slab_post_alloc_hook mm/slub.c:4104 [inline]\n slab_alloc_node mm/slub.c:4153 [inline]\n kmem_cache_alloc_node_noprof+0x1d9/0x380 mm/slub.c:4205\n alloc_task_struct_node kernel/fork.c:180 [inline]\n dup_task_struct+0x57/0x8c0 kernel/fork.c:1113\n copy_process+0x5d1/0x3d50 kernel/fork.c:2225\n kernel_clone+0x223/0x870 kernel/fork.c:2807\n kernel_thread+0x1bc/0x240 kernel/fork.c:2869\n create_kthread kernel/kthread.c:412 [inline]\n kthreadd+0x60d/0x810 kernel/kthread.c:767\n ret_from_fork+0x4b/0x80 arch/x86/kernel/process.c:147\n ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:244\n\n Freed by task 24:\n kasan_save_stack mm/kasan/common.c:47 [inline]\n kasan_save_track+0x3f/0x80 mm/kasan/common.c:68\n kasan_save_free_info+0x40/0x50 mm/kasan/generic.c:582\n poison_slab_object mm/kasan/common.c:247 [inline]\n __kasan_slab_free+0x59/0x70 mm/kasan/common.c:264\n kasan_slab_free include/linux/kasan.h:233 [inline]\n slab_free_hook mm/slub.c:2338 [inline]\n slab_free mm/slub.c:4598 [inline]\n kmem_cache_free+0x195/0x410 mm/slub.c:4700\n put_task_struct include/linux/sched/task.h:144 [inline]\n delayed_put_task_struct+0x125/0x300 kernel/exit.c:227\n rcu_do_batch kernel/rcu/tree.c:2567 [inline]\n rcu_core+0xaaa/0x17a0 kernel/rcu/tree.c:2823\n handle_softirqs+0x2d4/0x9b0 kernel/softirq.c:554\n run_ksoftirqd+0xca/0x130 kernel/softirq.c:943\n \n---truncated---",

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.
