Double Free Detection

Detection Workflow

Identify free operations: Find all free() and delete/delete[] calls, note the pointers being freed
Track pointer usage: Use xrefs_to to trace pointers and identify pointer aliases
Analyze control flow: Map all code paths to free(), check for multiple free() calls on same pointer
Assess exploitability: Can attacker trigger double free? Is there useful heap corruption?

Key Patterns

Direct double free: free() called twice on same pointer
Conditional double free: free() in multiple code paths
Indirect double free: freeing same memory through different pointers
Reference counting issues

Output Format

Report with: id, type, subtype, severity, confidence, location, freed pointer, first free, second free, double free path, exploitability, attack scenario, impact, mitigation.

Severity Guidelines

CRITICAL: Double free with code execution potential
HIGH: Double free causing heap corruption
MEDIUM: Double free causing crashes
LOW: Double free with limited impact
