CVSS v3.1 |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/mbcache: cancel shrink work before destroying the cache
mb_cache_destroy() calls shrinker_free() and then frees all cache
entries and the cache itself, but it does not cancel the pending
c_shrink_work work item first.
If mb_cache_entry_create() schedules c_shrink_work via schedule_work()
and the work item is still pending or running when mb_cache_destroy()
runs, mb_cache_shrink_worker() will access the cache after its memory
has been freed, causing a use-after-free.
This is only reachable by a privileged user (root or CAP_SYS_ADMIN)
who can trigger the last put of a mounted ext2/ext4/ocfs2 filesystem.
Cancel the work item with cancel_work_sync() before calling
shrinker_free(), ensuring the worker has finished and will not be
rescheduled before the cache is torn down. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/ap: use generic driver_override infrastructure
When the AP masks are updated via apmask_store() or aqmask_store(),
ap_bus_revise_bindings() is called after ap_attr_mutex has been
released.
This calls __ap_revise_reserved(), which accesses the driver_override
field without holding any lock, racing against a concurrent
driver_override_store() that may free the old string, resulting in a
potential UAF.
Fix this by using the driver-core driver_override infrastructure, which
protects all accesses with an internal spinlock.
Note that unlike most other buses, the AP bus does not check
driver_override in its match() callback; the override is checked in
ap_device_probe() and __ap_revise_reserved() instead.
Also note that we do not enable the driver_override feature of struct
bus_type, as AP - in contrast to most other buses - passes "" to
sysfs_emit() when the driver_override pointer is NULL. Thus, printing
"\n" instead of "(null)\n".
Additionally, AP has a custom counter that is modified in the
corresponding custom driver_override_store(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/cio: use generic driver_override infrastructure
When a driver is probed through __driver_attach(), the bus' match()
callback is called without the device lock held, thus accessing the
driver_override field without a lock, which can cause a UAF.
Fix this by using the driver-core driver_override infrastructure taking
care of proper locking internally.
Note that calling match() from __driver_attach() without the device lock
held is intentional. [1] |

callback is called without the device lock held, thus accessing the
driver_override field without a lock, which can cause a UAF.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7915: fix use-after-free bugs in mt7915_mac_dump_work()
When the mt7915 pci chip is detaching, the mt7915_crash_data is
released in mt7915_coredump_unregister(). However, the work item
dump_work may still be running or pending, leading to UAF bugs
when the already freed crash_data is dereferenced again in
mt7915_mac_dump_work().
The race condition can occur as follows:
CPU 0 (removal path) | CPU 1 (workqueue)
mt7915_pci_remove() | mt7915_sys_recovery_set()
mt7915_unregister_device() | mt7915_reset()
mt7915_coredump_unregister() | queue_work()
vfree(dev->coredump.crash_data) | mt7915_mac_dump_work()
| crash_data-> // UAF
Fix this by ensuring dump_work is properly canceled before
the crash_data is deallocated. Add cancel_work_sync() in
mt7915_unregister_device() to synchronize with any pending
or executing dump work. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: endpoint: pci-ep-msi: Fix error unwind and prevent double alloc
pci_epf_alloc_doorbell() stores the allocated doorbell message array in
epf->db_msg/epf->num_db before requesting MSI vectors. If MSI allocation
fails, the array is freed but the EPF state may still point to freed
memory.
Clear epf->db_msg and epf->num_db on the MSI allocation failure path so
that later cleanup cannot double-free the array and callers can retry
allocation.
Also return -EBUSY when doorbells have already been allocated to prevent
leaking or overwriting an existing allocation. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drbd: Balance RCU calls in drbd_adm_dump_devices()
Make drbd_adm_dump_devices() call rcu_read_lock() before
rcu_read_unlock() is called. This has been detected by the Clang
thread-safety analyzer. |
| In Eclipse 4diac FORTE versions 3.0.0 to 3.1.0, a specially crafted DELETE connection command to the management interface can lead to a dangling pointer. This allows subsequent commands to access freed memory (use-after-free). |
| Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct improper GPU system calls to cause an error path leading to UAF of GPU page tables.
The vulnerability allows physical memory allocated for MMU page tables to be used after being freed. This was caused by an error path that would not cleanup properly before freeing the physical allocation. |
| Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct improper GPU system calls to cause mismanagement of resources creating a write use after free scenario.
A shared resource (memory page) managed by a CPU thread of control (driver) and accessed by a GPU thread of control (Firmware) can cause a write UAF when the CPU thread frees the resource before the GPU FW has finished accessing it. |
| A use-after-free flaw was found in xorg-x11-server-Xvfb. This issue occurs in Xvfb with a very specific and legacy configuration (a multi-screen setup with multiple protocol screens, also known as Zaphod mode). If the pointer is warped from a screen 1 to a screen 0, a use-after-free issue may be triggered during shutdown or reset of the Xvfb server, allowing for possible escalation of privileges or denial of service. |
| A use-after-free flaw was found in the xorg-x11-server. An X server crash may occur in a very specific and legacy configuration (a multi-screen setup with multiple protocol screens, also known as Zaphod mode) if the pointer is warped from within a window on one screen to the root window of the other screen and if the original window is destroyed followed by another window being destroyed. |
| Vim is a UNIX editor that, prior to version 9.0.2121, has a heap-use-after-free vulnerability. When executing a `:s` command for the very first time and using a sub-replace-special atom inside the substitution part, it is possible that the recursive `:s` call causes free-ing of memory which may later then be accessed by the initial `:s` command. The user must intentionally execute the payload and the whole process is a bit tricky to do since it seems to work only reliably for the very first :s command. It may also cause a crash of Vim. Version 9.0.2121 contains a fix for this issue. |
| Vim is an open source command line text editor. When closing a window, vim may try to access already freed window structure. Exploitation beyond crashing the application has not been shown to be viable. This issue has been addressed in commit `25aabc2b` which has been included in release version 9.0.2106. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. |
| Use After Free in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1857. |
| Use After Free in GitHub repository vim/vim prior to 9.0.1840. |
| Vim is an improved version of the good old UNIX editor Vi. Heap-use-after-free in memory allocated in the function `ga_grow_inner` in in the file `src/alloc.c` at line 748, which is freed in the file `src/ex_docmd.c` in the function `do_cmdline` at line 1010 and then used again in `src/cmdhist.c` at line 759. When using the `:history` command, it's possible that the provided argument overflows the accepted value. Causing an Integer Overflow and potentially later an use-after-free. This vulnerability has been patched in version 9.0.2068. |
| ImageMagick before 7.1.2-15 and 6.9.13-40 contains a heap use-after-free in the meta coder: when memory allocation fails, a single byte is written to a stale pointer. Remote attackers can trigger it by processing specially crafted image files, causing a denial of service. |
| A use-after-free vulnerability was found in FFmpeg's RASC video decoder. The decode_move() function initializes a read pointer into a decompressed buffer, but a subsequent reallocation of that same buffer during move-table processing leaves the pointer dangling. An attacker could exploit this by providing a specially crafted AVI file containing a malicious RASC video stream. When a user opens or plays the file, the decoder reads from freed heap memory, which could lead to a denial of service (crash). |
| libexpat before 2.8.2 does not consider XML_TOK_DATA_CHARS in doCdataSection and thus lacks handler call depth tracking for various calls from within handlers in cases of a policy violation. Thus, a use-after-free can occur. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-50219. |
