Descriptions

A use-after-free flaw was found in PackageKitd. In some conditions, the order of cleanup mechanics for a transaction could be impacted. As a result, some memory access could occur on memory regions that were previously freed. Once freed, a memory region can be reused for other allocations and any previously stored data in this memory region is considered lost.

Como resultado, podría producirse cierto acceso a la memoria en regiones de memoria que se liberaron previamente. Una vez liberada, una región de memoria se puede reutilizar para otras asignaciones y cualquier dato previamente almacenado en esta región de memoria se considera perdido.
