Description
Description
Gwenhywfar 5.14.2 contains a heap use-after-free vulnerability in GWEN_TLV_Buffer_To_DB() in src/parser/tlv.c, which frees a nested record's GWEN_DB node when parsing of its contents fails but continues processing and adds the freed node to the parent instead of returning. Attackers can supply a constructed BER-TLV record with unparseable contents, such as via a malicious chip card read by libchipcard, to corrupt heap memory.

Helpful Resources
Exploitability
| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-416 | 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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer. |
