A Use After Free vulnerability in wicked of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15; openSUSE Leap 15.1, Factory allows remote attackers to cause DoS or potentially code execution. This issue affects: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 wicked versions prior to 0.6.60-2.18.1. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 wicked versions prior to 0.6.60-28.26.1. openSUSE Leap 15.1 wicked versions prior to 0.6.60-lp151.2.9.1. openSUSE Factory wicked versions prior to 0.6.62.

Weakness

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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
