CWE-1045: Parent Class with a Virtual Destructor and a Child Class without a Virtual Destructor
ID
CWE-1045
Abstraction
Base
Structure
Simple
Status
Incomplete
A parent class has a virtual destructor method, but the parent has a child class that does not have a virtual destructor.
This issue can prevent the product from running reliably, since the child might not perform essential destruction operations. If the relevant code is reachable by an attacker, then this reliability problem might introduce a vulnerability, such as a memory leak (CWE-401).
