NULL exception due to accessing bad pointer while posting events on RT FIFO in Snapdragon Compute, Snapdragon Mobile, Snapdragon Wired Infrastructure and Networking in IPQ6018, IPQ8074, QCA8081, SC8180X, SXR2130

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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
