Description#

This vulnerability occurs when a variable is used in a function after it has already been freed with free(). Accessing or passing freed memory can cause the program to behave unpredictably or crash.

An attacker could exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary code, cause application crashes, or leak sensitive data. Use-after-free bugs are a common target for serious security attacks, potentially leading to full system compromise.
