A use after free vulnerability [CWE-416] in FortiOS version 7.2.0 through 7.2.4 and version 7.0.0 through 7.0.10 and FortiProxy version 7.2.0 through 7.2.2 and version 7.0.0 through 7.0.8 may allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash the WAD process via multiple crafted packets reaching proxy policies or firewall policies with proxy mode alongside SSL deep packet inspection.

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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
