Vulnerability description

DayBreach CVE AI Research

CVE-2024-0217 has vendor, distribution, patch and security-source records on file. We can compare them and prepare an explanation linked to the evidence.

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.
