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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.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-197 Truncation errors occur when a primitive is cast to a primitive of a smaller size and data is lost in the conversion.
