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.

CVE-2026-239188.8 HIG98.7%
——30Double Free and possible RCE vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server with the HTTP/2 protocol.
This issue affects Apache HTTP Server: 2.4.66.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.67, which fixes the issue.3dCVE-2026-89259.8 CRI61.3%
——18The curl logic that works with SASL authentication could end up cleaning up
the GSASL context *twice* without clearing the pointer in between, making it
`free()` the same pointer twice.10dCVE-2026-338117.5 HIG52.9%
——16When using LookupCNAME with the cgo DNS resolver, a very long CNAME response can trigger a double-free of C memory and a crash.1dCVE-2026-506857.5 HIG45.6%
——14Double free in Windows DHCP Server allows an authorized attacker to execute code over a network.2dCVE-2026-430119.8 CRI44.3%
——13In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/x25: Fix potential double free of skb
When alloc_skb fails in x25_queue_rx_frame it calls kfree_skb(skb) at
line 48 and returns 1 (error).
This error propagates back through the call chain:
x25_queue_rx_frame returns 1
|
v
x25_state3_machine receives the return value 1 and takes the else
branch at line 278, setting queued=0 and returning 0
|
v
x25_process_rx_frame returns queued=0
|
v
x25_backlog_rcv at line 452 sees queued=0 and calls kfree_skb(skb)
again
This would free the same skb twice. Looking at x25_backlog_rcv:
net/x25/x25_in.c:x25_backlog_rcv() {
...
queued = x25_process_rx_frame(sk, skb);
...
if (!queued)
kfree_skb(skb);
}3dCVE-2018-109027.8 HIG40.8%
——12It was found that the raw midi kernel driver does not protect against concurrent access which leads to a double realloc (double free) in snd_rawmidi_input_params() and snd_rawmidi_output_status() which are part of snd_rawmidi_ioctl() handler in rawmidi.c file. A malicious local attacker could possibly use this for privilege escalation.10d
