Confidence Level	Low
Impact Level	High
Likelihood Level	Low

Description#

The code frees the same memory pointer more than once, which is known as a double free vulnerability. This happens when free() is called on a pointer that has already been freed, without resetting or reassigning it first.

Impact#

Double free vulnerabilities can lead to program crashes, memory corruption, or allow attackers to execute arbitrary code. This may result in denial of service or potentially give an attacker control over your application, risking data theft or system compromise.
