About this tag
Use-after-free vulnerabilities are a recurring memory-safety issue in software, particularly in browsers and kernel drivers. On WindowsForum.com, recent discussions cover multiple Chrome and Edge use-after-free flaws fixed in version 150, including CVE-2026-13965 in Oilpan, CVE-2026-14025 in Views, CVE-2026-14107 in Scheduling, CVE-2026-14111 in WebProtect, CVE-2026-14018 in the Chrome Updater, and CVE-2026-57986 in Edge. These bugs range from low to high severity and often require user interaction or local access. A Linux kernel use-after-free in Qualcomm's RMNET driver is also covered. The tag highlights how use-after-free defects can lead to remote code execution, privilege escalation, or system crashes, and underscores the importance of timely patching.
