FAQ
According to the CVSS metrics, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to major loss of confidentiality (C:H), no loss of integrity (I:N), and some loss of availability (A:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability? An attacker who successfully exploited this use after free vulnerability could view sensitive, previously freed memory heap information (Confidentiality) since the impacted component might be divulged to the attacker. While the attacker cannot make changes to disclosed information (Integrity), they might be able to force a crash within the function (Availability).
