| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
octeontx2-pf: fix double free in rvu_rep_rsrc_init()
rvu_rep_rsrc_init() allocates queue memory before calling
otx2_init_hw_resources(). When hardware resource setup fails,
otx2_init_hw_resources() already unwinds the partially initialized
SQ, CQ, and aura state before returning an error. The representor
error path then calls otx2_free_hw_resources() again and can free
the same resources a second time.
Fix this by splitting the cleanup labels so that a failure from
otx2_init_hw_resources() only releases queue memory. Keep the
otx2_free_hw_resources() call for failures that happen after
hardware resource initialization completed successfully.
The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly
available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still
present in v7.1-rc3.
Runtime validation was not performed because reproducing this path
requires OcteonTX2 representor hardware. |
| Redis before 8.8.0, in the unusual case where an authenticated attacker can execute RESTORE, allows remote code execution via a RESTORE payload where the same NACK (pending entry) is referenced by more than one consumer, because deleting both consumers via XGROUP DELCONSUMER leads to a double free. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-25243. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: qcom-cpufreq-hw: Fix possible double free
qcom_cpufreq.data is allocated with devm_kzalloc() in probe() as an
array of per-domain data. qcom_cpufreq_hw_cpu_init() stores a pointer to
one element of this array in policy->driver_data.
qcom_cpufreq_hw_cpu_exit() currently calls kfree() on policy->driver_data.
This is not valid because the memory is devm-managed. For the first
domain, this can free the devm-managed allocation while the devres entry
is still active, leading to a possible double free when the platform
device is later detached. For other domains, the pointer may refer to an
element inside the array rather than the allocation base.
Remove the kfree(data) call and let devres release qcom_cpufreq.data.
This issue was found by a static analysis tool I am developing. |
| libssh2 through 1.11.1, fixed in commit 5e47761, contains a double-free vulnerability in the sftp_open() function in src/sftp.c that allows a malicious SSH server to corrupt the heap of any authenticated client opening an SFTP session. When a server responds to SSH_FXP_OPEN with SSH_FXP_STATUS containing FX_OK, the response data buffer is freed, and if a subsequent sftp_packet_require() call returns a specific error such as LIBSSH2_ERROR_CHANNEL_PACKET_EXCEEDED, the same pointer is freed a second time, enabling tcache dup conditions on glibc systems that allow overlapping allocations and function pointer overwrites. |
| FreeRDP before 3.28.0 (affected 3.x through 3.27.1) contains a double-free vulnerability in freerdp_client_rdp_file_apply_to_settings() (client/common/file.c) when parsing the selectedmonitors field of a .rdp connection file. The MonitorIds array is allocated through the settings object, and a raw non-owning pointer to it is freed on the strtoul error path without clearing settings->MonitorIds, leaving it dangling; at teardown freerdp_settings_free() frees the same buffer again. An attacker who convinces a victim to open a crafted .rdp file with oversized monitor tokens can trigger a size-controlled double-free in any FreeRDP CLI client (xfreerdp/sdl-freerdp/wlfreerdp) in the default configuration. |
| When initializing an RSA public key from DER or PEM bytes throws an error, the EVP_PKEY* is double-freed: first in the catch block, then in the deinit. This can lead to a crash on future memory allocations. This double-free manifests when BoringSSL cannot decode the public key from the bytes provided. This vulnerability is addressed in swift-crypto version 4.5.1. |
| FFmpeg versions 4.4 through 8.1.2 contain a double-free vulnerability in the NVIDIA NVDEC hardware decoder within libavcodec/nvdec.c that allows attackers to trigger memory corruption by supplying a crafted video file. When no decoder surfaces remain, the ff_nvdec_start_frame_sep_ref error path frees memory via nvdec_fdd_priv_free while the calling layer subsequently frees the same frame description data, resulting in a double-free of the underlying decoder context in any FFmpeg-based application using NVDEC hardware-accelerated decoding. |
| YAML::Syck versions before 1.47 for Perl allow a use-after-free and double-free via an anchor node freed while still on the parser value stack.
In the bundled libsyck, when an anchor name is redefined or removed, syck_hdlr_add_anchor and syck_hdlr_remove_anchor free the node stored under that name with syck_free_node. That node can still be live on the parser's value stack, so syck_hdlr_add_node reaches it again and frees it a second time. On a normal build the 48-byte node chunk is freed twice and the interpreter aborts. Anchors need no special flags, so this is reached on the default Load path, and a 7-byte document that redefines an anchor triggers it.
Any caller that runs Load or LoadFile on an untrusted document that redefines an anchor mid-parse crashes the interpreter, a denial of service. |

| The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) library before 1.2.16.1 contains a double-free vulnerability in parse_def() in src/conf.c that allows attackers to corrupt memory by supplying maliciously crafted ALSA configuration text. When parsing nested compound or array configuration blocks, parse_def() fails to check return values before continuing, causing snd_config_delete() to be called twice on the same already-freed node, resulting in a NULL-pointer write or invalid memory read. |

| Double free in Windows DHCP Server allows an authorized attacker to execute code over a network. |
| The Zephyr net_buf library (lib/net_buf/buf.c) manipulated both of its reference counts -- the per-header buf->ref and the per-data-block ref_count at the start of each variable/heap data allocation -- with plain non-atomic C operators (buf->ref++, if (--buf->ref > 0), if (--(*ref_count))).
The API is documented as self-synchronizing: callers may share one buffer across threads (e.g. via k_fifo) and each holder independently calls net_buf_unref() with no surrounding lock. Under true concurrency (SMP, or single-core preemption between the non-atomic load and store while another context unrefs the same buffer), two holders can both observe the same prior reference value and both conclude they are the last reference.
For heap/variable-data pools (mem_pool_data_unref/heap_data_unref, used by zbus message subscribers, the IP stack RX/TX buffers when CONFIG_NET_BUF_FIXED_DATA_SIZE=n, capture, wireguard, ISO-TP and usbip) this produces a double k_heap_free()/k_free() of the same block -- heap-metadata corruption and a use-after-free on the heap-hardening poison pattern.
For the per-header refcount the buffer is returned to the pool free LIFO twice for any pool type (including fixed-data pools used by Bluetooth and networking), corrupting the free list so a later allocation hands the same buffer to two owners.
The fix converts both refcounts to atomic_inc/atomic_dec (overlaying buf->ref in an atomic_t-sized union and changing the data-block refcount from uint8_t to atomic_t).
Impact is gated on genuine concurrency and on an application architecture that shares one buffer among multiple independent unref'ers; the trigger is a refcount/timing race rather than packet content, so an external attacker has at most weak indirect influence over the race window. Affects all Zephyr releases through v4.4.0. |
| A denial-of-service security issue exists in the affected products. The security issue stems from improper handling of exceptional conditions when processing crafted CIP packets sent to the adapter. A power cycle is required to recover the module and associated I/O. |
| A flaw was found in OpenSSH. A malicious SSH server can exploit a double free vulnerability in the Diffie-Hellman Group Exchange (DH-GEX) client path. This occurs during FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) mode known-group validation when the client processes attacker-controlled DH-GEX group parameters. Successful exploitation leads to client-side process termination, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). |
| A flaw was found in GIMP's PSP file format parser. A double-free condition occurs in the read_layer_block() function when processing a specially crafted PSP file. This could allow an attacker to cause memory corruption, potentially leading to denial of service or arbitrary code execution. |
| A vulnerability was determined in Open Asset Import Library Assimp up to 6.0.4. Affected is the function Assimp::Exporter::ExportToBlob of the file code/AssetLib/Ply/PlyLoader.cpp of the component PLY Model Handler. This manipulation causes double free. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report. |
| A vulnerability was determined in GPAC up to 2.5-DEV. This vulnerability affects the function gf_isom_nalu_sample_rewrite of the file src/isomedia/avc_ext.c of the component MP4Box. This manipulation of the argument nalu_out_bs causes double free. It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. Patch name: f29f955f2a3b5e8e507caad3e52319f961bf37bf. To fix this issue, it is recommended to deploy a patch. |
| A double free issue has been identified in libarchive's RAR5 reader. During parsing of a specially crafted RAR5 archive, the filtered_buf pointer may remain stale after being freed during unpacking state reinitialization. Subsequent processing of another archive entry can trigger a second free of the same memory region, resulting in a double-free condition. Successful exploitation may cause applications using the vulnerable libarchive API to terminate unexpectedly, leading to a denial of service. |
