Incomplete
Summary
This category identifies Software Fault Patterns (SFPs) within the Faulty Resource Use cluster (SFP15).
Membership
| ID | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer. |
| CWE-672 | Operation on a Resource after Expiration or Release | The product uses, accesses, or otherwise operates on a resource after that resource has been expired, released, or revoked. |
| CWE-888 | Software Fault Pattern (SFP) Clusters | CWE identifiers in this view are associated with clusters of Software Fault Patterns (SFPs). |
Vulnerability Mapping Notes
Usage: Prohibited
Reasons: Category
Rationale:
This entry is a Category. Using categories for mapping has been discouraged since 2019. Categories are informal organizational groupings of weaknesses that can help CWE users with data aggregation, navigation, and browsing. However, they are not weaknesses in themselves.
