CWE
Use After Free
mitre_cwe
CWE-416 Use After Free
CWE-416: Use After Free
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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
Modes of Introduction:
Phase: Implementation
Common Consequences:
Scope: Integrity. Impact: Modify Memory. The use of previously freed memory may corrupt valid data, if the memory area in question has been allocated and used properly elsewhere.
Scope: Availability. Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart. If chunk consolidation occurs after the use of previously freed data, the process may crash

CWE-366: Race Condition within a Thread
If two threads of execution use a resource simultaneously, there exists the possibility that resources may be used while invalid, in turn making the state of execution undefined.
Modes of Introduction:
Phase: Implementation
Common Consequences:
Scope: Integrity, Other. Impact: Alter Execution Logic, Unexpected State. The main problem is that -- if a lock is overcome -- data could be altered in a bad state.
Detection Methods:
Automated Static Analysis: Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then sea
