Use After Free in Remote logging (which is disabled by default) in McAfee McAfee Agent (MA) 5.x prior to 5.6.0 allows remote unauthenticated attackers to cause a Denial of Service and potentially a remote code execution via a specially crafted HTTP header sent to the logging service.
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
