CWE-763: Release of Invalid Pointer or Reference

ID CWE-763
Abstraction Base
Structure Simple
Status Incomplete
Number of CVEs 65
The product attempts to return a memory resource to the system, but it calls the wrong release function or calls the appropriate release function incorrectly.

This weakness can take several forms, such as:

  • The memory was allocated, explicitly or implicitly, via one memory management method and deallocated using a different, non-compatible function (CWE-762).
  • The function calls or memory management routines chosen are appropriate, however they are used incorrectly, such as in CWE-761.
